Perspective…

For whatever reason, I thought about the last bike ride I had with Sam while I was waiting to drop off my lawn mower to get fixed. Sam was tired and needed help going up even the smallest hill. All I could think about was when are you going to be big enough to get up this hill by yourself.

As I was thinking about the ride, a pair of father/son cyclists went by and it looked like dad was playing catch up. Seeing this I realized I need to remember someday Sam won’t be so little. I should cherish the simple little rides now as much as I know I will enjoy the bigger rides we’ll have when he gets older.

Sometimes you need to be a removed from a situation to get a clearer view of what’s truly important. Life’s little reminders can come up at some of the strangest moments.
