Craig and I took a short motorcycle ride to Boulder yesterday. The weather was GORGEOUS. Whenever I ride my motorcycle, I’m always way more aware of my surroundings (a survival must). I was amazed at all I saw. Here are the highlights…

1. Six sky divers. Both tandem and solo.
2. A paraplegic riding his version of a bicycle in a Boulder bike race.
3. DOZENS of Boulder bike race participants.
4. Daddy’s and little boy’s riding tandem bicycles. WAY too cute!
5. Yet another man riding a sitdown bicycle.
6. A red tail Hawk with it’s wings stretched out as far as they would go while he was riding the drafts. Beautiful.
7. Cloud configurations that would amaze anyone.
8. Green mountains that are especially lush due to all the rain we’ve had.
9. Joggers galore.
10. A guy riding his bicycle while he was “walking” his dog. Lily would kill me in an instant if I did that with her!

It was such a beautiful day yesterday. High was in the low 60’s and sky was DEEP blue with huge white fluffy clouds. It’s kinda sad though to know that if I had been in a car, I probably wouldn’t have noticed much of the things listed above. I probably would have been listening to music or talking on the cell and just driven right past all the life going on outside my little box on wheels. I wonder how many times Father has tried to show me something beautiful but I’ve missed it because I was caught up in my own little bubble. Sad. I’m going to try to be more observant this week. We’ll see what happens.

Hope you have a beautiful week ahead.
I really hope you don’t miss it.
