2015 1st blog "Finding Balance Again"

As I strive to find more balance in 2015 I have to ponder why someone who loves to write as I do has slacked off on this blog.  I went back and read through the blog and have pinned it down to a few reasons:

(1st summit of Tag the Flag; found this note in the summit box)

1. My life on the bike, while fun and I still love it, had become one dimensional--totally uncharacteristic of my real self, so IMO I was BORING... this year I'll strive for BALANCE; get back to a more well rounded lifestyle and enhance my life with more adventure than ever.

2. I realized that when I started this blog a ride around the blog, a small hike or just meeting someone new was EPIC. After a while nothing was epic unless it involved blood, pain or suffering. While I appreciate a good tale and an awesome day of challenging sport not everyday has to be that way...this year I will appreciate every moment of being present as EPIC and be inspired by those events to write more often.

3. Lastly, I began to care what people thought.  This is definitely NOT ME. I don't know why this happened, but it stops now.  I can appreciate constructive criticism (as a writer this is part of life), but for those who want me to be someone I am not, want to control my writing and/or me as a person, well I say good luck to you. I AM WHO I AM and I LIKE that person who is quirky, funny, adventurous, clumsy, physically limited, kind and caring.

So, that being said here we go--Let's find some adventure and BRING IT:)
