Take the Ride

(Wrote this in 5 mins, no edits…but I wrote SOMETHING)

I am 42 years old and I recently bought an electric scooter. For myself.

I use it to get from my car to the office. This used to be about a 12-minute walk, but now it is a 3-minute…scoot. But, I will admit, I also take it on joy rides around the neighborhood when I get a chance.

It is fun, plain and simple.

I love it and the rides make me feel as if I was a kid again. This is something that we are missing in our life, most of us at least.

Having fun. Getting outside. Being comfortable looking a little silly.

We do a lot of all of these things when we are young, and then they start to fade at some point. Buy why? And what is the impact? It can’t be good, right?

I think we all need to make commitments to ourselves to attempt to get back to this, even if in some small way, like an electric scooter.

Take that ride. Feel that wind. Think about…nothing.
