Some thoughts about human essentials

I've re-learned the basics all over again, things that I knew as truth when I was younger, but had somehow forgotten. Life basically comes down to a few very essential items, most of which we already know...

 

1) Food is delicious. Even the things that you might not like so much, that's good too, you just need more appetite to realize this. Also, never turn down cake, ice cream, cupcakes or any other kind of dessert. You never know when you'll be offered some again, and even if you are, it probably won't be the same.

2) Sleep is also delicious, in it's own way. Full-on sleep is always the best, but if you have a chance to take a nap, do so. There's no losing in this kind of situation.

3) If there's someone you've been thinking about lately, call them and let them know. At the very least, write them a letter or an e-mail (although the letter is so much better). This is very important.

4) There's pretty much always something funny, in almost every situation. When you realize what that is, make sure you share it with whoever's around you. It makes them less uncomfortable when you're laughing.

5) Patience is a quality that everyone appreciates. It can open many paths.

 

Today we ride to Plymouth, NC. Tomorrow we'll be in Virginia, if all goes well. It's looking like a beautiful day.
