This blog has always been about
moving forward after life changes by trying new things. I believe that moving forward is a way to find a path
to being our personal best or
as the theorist Maslow would say,
becoming self- actualized. My childhood best friend recently
advised so well, “Cindy, you can’t really move forward when you’re
off balance.” Many things in life can get you off balance. As one of my blog inspiration books, Everything I Need to Know About Love, I Learned From A Little Golden Book,
states, "a broken
(relationship) ..can leave you flat on your back.” A few months ago, an unexpected event put a hatchet to my relationship, my son went
back to college and a close family
member had to fight a serious illness.
So yes, I was a bit off balance but once I found some balance again, moving forward is refreshing because of my new perspective,
goals, and chance to start "better".
Reflection
Pittsburgh view crossing the Hot Medal Bridge on my bike |
I started biking several times a week which is especially enjoyable in the fall since this is the time to enjoy sunny days that are so precious in Pittsburgh. Now you really have to have good balance to
try a unicycle. Thick Bikes has a collection of unicycles. In an effort to
get people to experience them, they have unicycles available to try at no cost on Friday nights on the Southside bike path in
front of the Hofbauhus. Thick Bikes also runs unicycle clinics.
So try a unicycle. I must say that it’s a feeling
of accomplishment and freedom to move a few
inches on one wheel instead of two. Hmm...one wheel instead of two..not bad, not
bad at all!
Spiritual Reflection
Forget the former things: do not dwell on the past. See I am
doing a new thing. (Isaiah 43:18,19)
