Sometimes we decide to go out on a nice bike ride and then all of a sudden we see a storm rolling in.

Naturally we are going to hurry up to try to beat the storm.

Maybe it’s not a bike ride for you. Maybe it’s not an actually thunderstorm.

It could be a new business venture, a new job, planning something new for your family. Regardless, storms happen when we “go on a bike ride.”

Occasionally we will make it home but often we get caught in the storm. When we do, we can’t change the storm or make it go away. Complaining or feeling sorry for ourselves has no impact on how dry we stay in the storm.

All we can do is protect what’s important and trudge through. Maybe you even find something to enjoy in the storm. Maybe you realize being in the storm isn’t so bad and you find joy along the way.
