So today I was biking in Santa Monica on the awesome beach trail. These young kids were zipping past me...the fit looking young ladies were rushing past, gosh even some old guys were passing me. My pride was hurt. How could all these people leave me in the dust?
Let me tell you why they left me in the dust. They left me in the dust because I was on mile 20 of my journey...thats right I biked 20 miles, from Santa Monica all the way to LAX and back. These guys passing me had just started...they had plenty of energy....This little experience made me think about life, how easy it is to look at people who are struggling and judge with out walking in their shoes...or riding on their bike. Let me tell you 20 miles sitting on a bike seat is not pleasant. Anyway if we knew everything that people had experienced I think we would all be a little more compassionate and less judgmental. I know I will be from now on...at least when I am riding my bike.
