Alone Time

Today I had a gorgeous bike ride to the gym (quick 6 miles one way). The alone time, wind in my face, and warm sun soaking into my skin helped improve my attitude. After an hour of strength training I was able to enjoy the freedom one more time today. I forgot how freeing bike riding is. It feels a bit like being a kid all over again.

This week as Mike heads out of town for a business trip, I think I will savor my alone time and look for these little forgotten childhood pleasures. Anyone gotta a sandbox, shovels, and some stolen Tupper Ware perfect for castle making?

And for cheesy fun, pictures of a younger Amy:

I'm 3, with my first childhood friend. We are sitting on a standard dining room chair.

Even at 4, I was a total dork. :-)
