Definition of Epic

My definition of epic is always changing...one day it's something amazing I've done that I really didn't think I could, the next it's the littlest of things that provide the biggest challenge.  With this I've decided that life is simply an epic adventure of events that depending on the day and your own perception, the definition of epic waxes and wanes.

Today my ride wasn't epic in terms of the terrain, distance or difficulty.  However, it was epic because I challenged myself to get out and ride my bike at 34 degrees...winning battle #1.  Once I got out to ride the views were epic...no doubt about that--Colorado is gorgeous.  On the way home I met and shared some laughs with customers at the bike shop who now seem to be more like friends; something I've always enjoyed in the various bike shops I've been in, but haven't quite dialed in yet here in CO.

So what did I learn about epic today?..Just that doing anything is epic--just do something, don't let your brain, body or anyone get in your way and you'll feel better about everything!

I've been doing the 21 day meditation with Oprah and Deepak and today's centering thought was fitting:

Our centering thought for today is:
I release myself from obstacles and boundaries.
Ride on,
