Choice vs. Chance



It is necessary to make choices. We make choices everyday. Sometimes there are so many choices that it seems overwhelming. Is life really a 'choose your own adventure' novel? How in (or out) of control are we?



I'm going to reflect on a small choice that will be part of my regular life again soon. To drive or to ride? It seems like an easy decision -- ride. It is easy when it is the only option. I have ridden my bike more in the past six days around the city than I did in four weeks of guiding.



I met my goal. I have been without a vehicle for more than a year. I'm excited about owning a vehicle again but I don't want to lose my habit and commitment to use my bicycle as transportation.
