Thankful For the Small Stuff
Sunlight, peeking
through cloudless skies.
Later, sunset.
Air dancing across my skin,
heart racing, greedy for oxygen.
Quads burning, calves tightening; summiting,
long draws of water.
Strapping on shoes, clicking into pedals,
the first push-off of each ride.
Tucking behind handlebars,
along open roads.
Long shadows, followed by
star-filled night skies.
Post-ride mega-salads.
Camaraderie.
Give gratitude. Shower praise.
Say “thank you.”
Kiss loved ones.
Acknowledge blessings.
This Thanksgiving, may we find contentment in the smallest details.
Happy Thanksgiving from TreadBikely!
