And the hits (learning) just keep on a coming...

I, like Jodi, had a wonderful learning experience just a few days ago. I got a fancy new bike to ride with my athletic daughter. Mind you, I've been bike riding for more than 50 years, so it's not like I'm just learning. We pulled up to a stop light to punch the "walk" button and as I rolled up to the curb I could not for the life of me get my foot our of my pedal clip. Helpless, I just had to (it seemed like it was in slow motion) fall over with my feet still in the stirrups. I'm sure to someone watching it was pretty comical. Of course, when I hit the ground my feet popped right out. I learned that I had to plan my stops a little more carefully, anticipate better. I learned. I think the phrase "I learned" is another way of saying: "purpose of life." I got up and got back on the bike. We all have daily learning experiences. We learn and get back on the bike and ride on, much wiser.
