Resolutions/Revolutions/Revelations

I'm a believer that the revolutions begin on the inside and grow out.

I love developing healthy habits and sharing my enjoyment of them with others.... I've been vegetarian now for 16 years (though I had 16 more of vegetable enjoyment, thanks Mom!) and a consistent bicyclist for 13. A consistent reader ever since I finally understood how the letters worked together (it felt like it took forever, I wanted to read so badly, I would even tell myself what I remembered of the stories as I turned the pages of my favorite books desperate for the moment it would click). I've been grateful for the opportunities I've had to share these great loves with other individuals; helping friends with parts and routes, sharing meals, lending and trading books (and even attempting at one point to teach one of my cats to read....).

So here's my current list of what I want to cultivate this year:

  • 6000 miles of bike miles. I've just ordered a new bike (eeeeee!), purchased a cycle computer, and am ready to track. I already commute by bike, ride with friends, and use it for errands; but I want to ride MORE.
  • Write daily. Hello!
  • Begin practicing music regularly, and go to an open mic once a month.
  • Stretch, if not daily, 3 times a week.
  • Plan and lead three themed rides here in San Jose.
  • Share a meal at least once a week.
  • Practice art on some level every day.
  • Fruit. I am the worst at fruit. Eat more of it. Juice doesn't count as anything but delicious.
  • Work through my simple sewing projects and work on building skills to replace zippers so I can wear those three dresses again.
And a bunch of babble about cleaning and organizing and stuff. But the above are the big ones.

    Can't wait to check out your new bike. No doubt you will be a formidable rider after so many miles of single speed.
