I saw the acupuncturist today.  Not sure if my actual "chi" has improved, it may be the 30min of forced relaxation time.  Either way, my feeling is it can't hurt......or can it?! .... that was a joke.
My knee rehab has been going well. Like any other athlete, (or at least that's how I rationalize it) I've had my fair share of wrenches thrown in the mix, but each time I'm leveled out by a good friend or maybe just reality.  This is where I am, this is what I can do today, and this is how I smile. 
I found this comic in the newspaper the other day and tore it out and put it in my back pants pocket.  About four days later I found it destroyed in the dryer.  Guess how long it took me to find it on the internet,....hold your hair down.....!!!about 2 minutes, that's right, as Mark C. says, "all those looks and a brain too!". 
It made me smile because it was randomly simple, and when I walked into the quiet all too Zen, soft, sound of running water, no shoes acupuncture office I thought of this comic and muffled a giggle trying not to further instill the "blonde" stereotype. 
One day at a time and I'm almost back on the bike, back on the roads.  One smile at time, one oddly placed humorous thought, and I'm closer to the person I'd like to be.  Bring on the porcupines!! 

I'm published again at F2R.com - Part 1 of What Motivates You? a 2 part series.
