New bridges

I am helping my octogenarian mom a lot lately. We are crossing some new bridges in life. I am grateful there is a greenway not far from her home, and a bikeshare station (which is free to join, and the bikes are free to use for up to three hours), since I don’t always have my own bike with me. Those ten miles or so I ride in between doctor visits and errand-running and just sitting and being together are critical self-care, and I am grateful for them.
