[…] I walked I thought about the things for which I am thankful, simple things like sunshine, a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food in my stomach, family […]

In reply to G.Dennis Robertson. While I'm certain the Lions must have won one of those Thanksgiving games, my uncle from Michigan who always came to dinner seemed to be perpetually frustrated by that team. Hope you had a good holiday and keep loving the Lions!

In reply to Emm.

Sorry for the delay in responding to your generous comments. I’m glad you’ve found some peace and satisfaction in riding. While it’s not the right choice for everyone, when it is, it’s surprising how strongly it affects a person. Riding does ignite the senses and engages the mind in a manner that’s often unusual. How often would you experience the fragrance of wattle otherwise…

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum. I’ve been through that. All I can say is I hope you find yourself one day awaking with mostly warm and happy memories rather than the loss.

Best wishes for the holidays!

Happy belated turkey day!
I wrote a comment here roughly a year ago about how you inspired me as a new vespa rider. Since then I have taken an intermediate riding course, ridden through rain and hail, got my provisional licence and braved winter conditions down to minus 2 celcius; All because of you.
So I am thankful for your inspiration to keep going with this even though I was scared. I am thankful for the unique view I get of the world by riding instead if driving, the smell of wattle and eucalypt, of warm tar or wet cement.
Finally I am thankful for the peace riding has given me while I process the grief of losing my mum.
Thank You!

In reply to Steve Brooke.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. And the weather has been moderate so scooting is still possible.

The doings of our noggins are a source or joy and pain. I’m trying to embrace all of it and explore the shadows I like to avoid. Not as fun as riding the Vespa but the scooter has a part to play.

Stay warm as we head to the next holiday season…

In reply to Billy Blades. Saw your motorcycle parked across from Schlow Library at the end of a cold day Billie. You're riding far into the cold weather!
