This year my main goal was just to be happier. I'm still working on it. You'd be surprised how hard yet simple being happy is. For me it's a work in progress, so one of my new (old) past times is finding the little things that make people happy - grilling out on a nice day, walking the dog, sitting on the couch with loved ones late into the night, drinking tea and chatting, the smell of baked cookies, a freshly washed and made bed, a crisp morning.
This morning I found this: The Bicycle Project. Bikes wrap all sorts of good happy things in one package - the sun, control, speed, fun, mobility. I'm inspired to finally get new bike tires since my others are flat (and have been for a year) and start getting happy! Also, to take my own bike portrait ;-)
Join the party! This is a perfect friend date. And I would love to see portraits of you + your bike!
This could be you:
One of the things I miss most about Chico is riding my bike everywhere. Chico is very flat and small (to me and my likes) so you could get around easily on a cruiser bike. Now that I live in the Bay Area (Hello gigantic hills!) it isn't so easy to put on a sun dress and cruise to work then to a bar and then home again. It's possible though, and I fully intend on getting a 6 gear sometime soon when my bank account says I can. Bike portrait coming soonish. :)
