Another season of cycling is upon me and I am loving every minute of it. Riding my bike through Utah's mountains continues to provide moments of pure joy. I eagerly anticipate the rare gifts of feeling whole, when I physically and mentally challenge my limits, while surrounded by Utah's natural beauty, hearing nothing but my lungs exhale in a rhythmic search for more oxygen.
These moments renew my thankfulness for my active, healthy life and remind me that at any moment that sense of peace, on my bike, surrounded by nature, could be my last. These instants are one of the blessings and challenges of being an intensive care nurse and seeing how life can change at any given moment. Ride safe and choose to focus on your happy thoughts.
