After having a stressful week at work as well as a rough week with other stresses in life (bills, loans, friends) i decided to go on an evening bike ride around the park to relieve some tension.
As i adjusted my helmet i went outside and to my amazement i saw a bike which had small cobwebs and rust building up (the thought that maybe i have been putting off this ride for a while appeared in my mind). After wiping the bike clean of dust (and getting more angry) I eventually forced myself to get onto the bike and started to peddle down to the park. The breeze was warm and the sound of the leaves rustling was almost compforting. My muscles started burning as i reached the half way point. zig zagging through the shady paperbark trees i noticed myself breathing in deeper. Breathing in the fresh air, i was seriously working up a sweat but suddently had a sense of calmness come over me. All my worries just vanished. I started to see the natural beauty around me. By the time i got home i had forgotten how stressfull my life was and realised how peacefull the park actually can be. Instead of just forcing myself to go for a ride for the sake of getting fit and getting home as quickly as possible, i went on the ride and saw the simple things in life. I saw the best things that are in life are in fact free. Life is good!
