I can fly

I’ve been eyeing my son’s new bicycle for days, and finally gave in to temptation yesterday. I climbed on gingerly. I wobbled. I nearly fell even before starting. They say that once you learn to ride a bike, you never forget, but I seemed to have forgotten.

But me being me, I kept at, and soon, I found the old skill coming back. It felt like I was flying. The sense of freedom was no different from what I felt when I used to ride regularly as a kid.

It is wonderful to re-discover something that gives so much joy.

Your story today is inspirational. Most of my bike riding is of the stationary kind. Not the same at all.

Awwww such an inspirational and sweet story!
It is always fun to go back to the things we used to enjoy in our childhood. I am enjoying painting with pencil colours and crayons these days! :)

Natasha - Oh, I know what you mean! I love re-discovering simple joys like that :-). Sometimes you just have to let go and, well, fly :-).
