Today I went to a bike store with my co-worker at lunch. Talk about a walk through memory lane. Funny how life changes. 10 years ago I was single, childless, living in Phoenix and doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Life was good. I had great friends that I cherish to this day and I enjoyed fun in the sun with my outdoorsy lifestyle. We'd do a lot of things - hiking, biking, hang at the pool, races, camping. The list goes on and on. But today, when I went to the bike shop, it thew me back in time. To a time when I purchased my 1st mountain bike and it just seemed like I was watching a movie of my life in my head. The flashbacks of all the different trails, my mountain bike gear, gloves, helmet, biker shorts....it all came rushing in. At times, I can't remember what I did yesterday or last week but 10 years ago just all came back with a blink of an eye. And it felt so real. My life is different now. I still have my bike but I no longer mountain bike. Instead I ride with my husband and son around our neighborhood. 7 years ago, I got married. 4 years ago, the best little boy came in to my life. 10 months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my life and me have been forever changed.
