Today I went on a short ride around town and to the beach area of Colt State Park for girl watching and book reading. You know, something for the mind and bod. During the loop through town I noticed a very heavy set man mounting his step through bike. He was so heavy he was unable to lift his leg to actually step through and had to lift his shorts with one hand for extra leverage. My first reaction was wonderment at how a person could let that happen to themselves. My next reaction a moment later was admiration that he faced up to his situation and had deceided to change it.
I know how difficult it was for me to quite smoking after many years so anyone who tries to change their life for the better should be applauded.
