Epic Bike Ride Date Night. July 25, 2020

We went on the most wonderful bike ride this evening for date night. I’ve been dreaming about this bike ride for a while, and we made it happen tonight. Yesssssss. We visited all of these lovely friends. It was the best. We rode up to their houses and got to spend time with everyone. (I forgot to take a photo of Ophelia and David - so sorry! Next time!). Seeing everyone really lifted my spirits. Even though I was wearing a mask and we all kept our distance, I felt almost normal. Almost. Thank you, everyone. It was such a delight to see you. And the babies!!! I love those babies.

Other things we did today: I meditated this morning and it was fucking tough. A lot of fear came up for me, it sucked. It did not feel relaxing at all, in fact, I was worse after that session. Every time I meditate, I learn something new. Today I learned that meditation can suck, completely. I am looking forward to tomorrow evening’s session with the group. Lama Michael will be leading it. I have not met him, but he is much loved, so I am really looking forward to learning from him. Also today, I gave Aaron a haircut. And, I cleaned the bathroom. Both satisfying accomplishments. Nailing it, 100%. Then, we drove to one of our favorite gardens only to discover that it is now closed on the weekends. It was nice to get out, anyway. So incredibly nice to be away from the house and all of the things that need to be tidied or fixed or torn out, or torn down. I need a break from my house. All in all, it was a lovely day and the bike ride was really and truly wonderful.

Thank you, friends.

Sending you all the love.
