04 Oct A little joy
Last week I wrote a list of things that bring me happiness, as I knew that I was likely to crash emotionally soon, and sure enough – the start of Daylight Savings was my undoing.
One of the things on my list is ‘riding my bike’. Last week I got a wonderful new bike from Second Chance Cycles. I am not sure if I wrote about this, but it was free (because I have a Health Care Card), and this organisation employ volunteers from the criminal justice system to repair bikes. It is truly marvellous.
And so, today, I rode the approximately 20 minute trip to the leisure centre for swimming laps and the steam room/sauna. To take the train and walk takes a lot longer than that!
It lifted my spirits considerably. Especially the bike riding. And Sunday is a nice time to visit the pool because there is no pressure of time, so I can push myself further.
