Inspired by the movie Julie and Julia, I've started this blog, but since I doubt anyone will actually look at it I have named it appropriately. Today marks the end of a dream I had, a dream to recapture my youth and freedom. I put my brand new 3 wheel bike up for sale. Laugh if you will, but it was a symbol of all that I was going to regain. I would use it for exercise, I would become slim and strong, I would feel the wind through my hair and be able to cycle to the far corners of my neighborhood. The cruel reality is that the conveyance is heavy and unweildly and instead of feeling like a free spirit, I felt terror unleashed as I streaked down the street barely able to stop, nearly tipping over. After only a block or so the dream had been seriously damaged when the reality of pedaling the thing back up the slight incline home blew to smithereens what few illusions remained. After feeling guilt everyday for the last three months for not riding and giving it another try, I have listed it on Craig's list and I cannot express the relief I feel.
great start
