I ride again...

I rode my bicycle again tonight, the first ride after a 48-hour bout with probable norovirus. That little two-day, two-night session of pain and discomfort made me realize a couple of things. 

1. I am extremely grateful to still be able to ride a bicycle.
   
   
2. I feel great sympathy for those who frequently suffer pain and discomfort. They are many, and they include some of my family, relatives, friends, and neighbors.

If you're hurting right now, I feel you. I'm praying you get to a point where you can feel at least okay again.
