Remember the tree in my backyard? I opened my eyes this morning from a good night’s sleep and the first thing I saw was that tree. The fall colors are coming on strong, the sun is shining and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day.

Life is good. What am I going to do today? I say to myself, “Self, since it’s such a gorgeous day why don’t you get up, make coffee and breakfast and then dig out the Harley (ah, the rumble of the 103” stroker motor is music to my ears) and go for a ride? You don’t have many days left before winter is here.”

Naturally, I think that’s a great idea.

I’ve ridden motorcycles ever since I was old enough to get a license. In fact, I had a motorcycle before I had a car. Riding has always been passion of mine. I like the wind in my face and the smell of freshly mowed hay or newly worked soil. I don’t mind the odd bug in my mouth, because riding a motorcycle is like life: You have to take the good with the bad. The secret is to maximize the good things by being brave and going for the ride. Bugs and the odd pig farm or livestock yard can be annoying or smelly but it can be fun, too. When you go by one it’s an excuse to roll on the throttle and listen to the pipes bark for a bit.

I called up my youngest brother today and he’s into going for a ride. He said that he’ll phone a couple more friends to see if they’re up for it, too. I like to share my good times. Ever since I started up my business to make money at home, I get to do more of what I want, when I want. I got brave - I went for the ride.

Like I said, life is good. How’s your life?
