Keep moving

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep

your balance you must keep moving.

~ Albert Einstein

I have been training for our June holiday in Holland this year on a Bike and Barge trip where you cycle approximately 50km per day visiting walled cities, castles, museums and art galleries.  I know what you are thinking, how does training and holiday get used in the same sentence!    Apart from the sore legs and sunburnt faces it has led us to discover the bike paths of Brisbane and we have loved being a tourist in our own city.   Our own weekend Staycation.

We have clocked up the kilometers on the bikes, ridden through lovely areas with creeks and riverbeds teeming with enough wildlife that would keep any Birdwatcher happy.  Some tracks have suffered from the recent floods with bridges being washed away and some debris has been left, however most are in great condition with clear signage and are an easy ride for the whole family.

I encourage you to get out and about, to wander the streets of your own city, visit the parks and attractions, and enjoy the restaurants with your local sights and sounds every weekend.   Visit the places you would if you had visitors.

Keep moving, progress personally and in your career, strive for excellence, have new experiences.  Charles M Shultz says that “Life is like a ten speed bicycle.  Most of us have gears we never use”. So let’s take it up a gear and enjoy life at every opportunity and keep moving!
