In the past I have written about what I call “keys to the universe,” which is a list of my no-fail, always great things in my life. Not generic, obvious stuff like my sons or love, but specific items or actions that come my way. The loveliness,the blessings of life. On my bike these kinds of things whisper through my head like a breeze.<\/p>\n
It might be a good idea for you to consider yours, and remind yourself what really floats your boat.<\/p>\n
Sometimes,rarely, I have a bad time while riding and I find myself coming up with “locks to the universe,” or negative things I come across, items,events, people types who rain on my bike ride. On yesterday’s ride, locks and keys competed within me, and I need to write them down:<\/p>\n

\n2. Cuts to public aid
