I had two TRAM reflections that I was trying to figure out how to share without being sappy. It's tough, because I'm so mushy, as you'd expect, so I'll just be direct.
1. When riding, I said to Steve, "I wish life was just one big, long supported bike ride." As I thought about it more, although I have a real life, it is like a supported bike ride. I'm very privileged: I'm financially secure, educated, have a great family, live in a democratic society, have access to food, health care, and clean water, etc. My hardest, worse days are nothing compared to what many people deal with, including many in our country.
2. I have said it before, and I'll say it again: I have really great friends. They are funny and nice, of course, but they genuinely care about other people and will go out of their way to help others on a daily basis. That's amazing.
I'm feeling very grateful this week.
