I love your humor Emily! Spin class sounds exuberating. Endorphins are a good friend when thoughts get the best of us. Spinning my wheels got me thinking in a metaphorical sense. As I sit here, retired in my late sixties, in front of my computer drinking cold coffee, making an angry political comment on Substack (expletives included), your post made me feel calm topped off with a smile, thinking about doing something positive, maybe some cardio... Let's Go!. Your creativity always gives me something. I just had a thought. I really love my wife! To quote Jack Nicholson 'As Good As It Gets' "You make me want to be a better man" You made my day...Thank You!
