Glorious Day

I went to church on a bike ride today-- 2 glorious hours! 20 miles. The sky was deep and beautiful. The leaves fell and danced on the wind in a cascade that made me weep with joy to see. I thoroughly appreciated the views and communed with my dearly departed, particularly Bob and Rick... both carpenters and servicemen, now that I think of it. I think they would have very much enjoyed each other's company, and I'm sorry that my friendships with both did not overlap in a way for that to be an option. I had not been out to the Bedford end of the Minuteman in quite some time. I don't recall if I managed it  last year. I certainly hadn't managed that far this year... It used to be what I did at least a few times a week, so going out felt like visiting a departed home. I thought about soldiers and spent deliberate time being grateful for their sacrifice. Thought about a lot but maintained my joy.

Now it's cloudy. I'm beyond glad I went. This after a second breakfast with lifecollage and I'm about to head to the movies with primal_pastry, and a dinner date with quiet_elegance....  A glorious day.

How wonderful to be outside today! The Bear and I also went for a bike ride and spent some quality time at a playground.
