Tired in a good way

It was a perfect weekend not only because I was able to ride both days and because the weather was beautiful but also because I had a conversation during my Saturday ride with a friend that made me realized and appreciate that even thou Alex has a brain disorder and she's been thru a lot she is still trying to one day graduate from college; it is hard for a "normal" person to do so and I can only imagine my daughter's struggle trying to keep up and I admire her for that. Another highlight of my weekend is that Banana had a bike crash and cracked her helmet; her sister (Alex) found a ride for her and took her to the hospital, I was fixing to get ready and drive over 3 hours there  to see how she was doing but Alex did a great job keeping us in the loop and that was awesome, I made sure to tell her I was very thankful that she was there with her and for her. Banana was released and thanks God, no broken bones or major injuries, only a concussion, needless to say... it was very scary.  I prayed to God for serenity and strength, time seemed to stop until I was told that she was OK. A friend told me that I used up a lot of adrenaline with Banana's issue and that's why I was low in energy during today's ride. I still had a great time. Rocky's eye looks great and he is already wanting to go with the other dogs so I finally slept on a bed in the actual bedroom :). I am very tired... but in a good way.

  1. Betty, like you & Joel, my family has had to endure serious issues. I have seen how much pain a Mother endures. Sometimes, it feels like it's too much for me, but it always pales in comparision to a Mother's. For a long time, I have been aware of you struggles. I always look for deeper meaning when I come across your Facebook Posts. My thoughts & prayers are with you... I had fun riding with you; you are an inspiration with your never say never attitude; in spite of those 'bastards'... :)
