I’ve been wanting to do this one for a while now. Give an update on why I went MIA (wasn’t feeling IT when writing). Close out old articles and update on my life, blog and bike situation. Closing out the first chapter of this blog, and starting part two with a clean slate.

Saying “good!” after something happens, allows us to step back and not get over flowed by negative thoughts when something happens. It allows us to, see things differently and immediately start doing to solve the problem; learning and growing. This is a continuation of last week’s Stop Thinking, Start Doing.

I plan, and plan, but have a hard time getting to the execution part. It’s part of why I’ve been MIA. I keep waiting for the perfect alignment of details, ideas, time and execution. I wait so much to the point of inaction. That’s on me, I need to stop thinking; start doing. Get out and DO!

I’m here and I exist. I’m a living person on a bike; with hopes, dreams, family, job, bills, taxes and even a car. Look, I’m just trying to get home safe; just like you. Any bike ride that gets me home safe and in one piece, is a good ride. Please, focus your attention on the road. Be careful when opening doors. Leave problems, worries, phone calls, text messages, etcetera out of the car and just drive.
