Today I saw...
The world. I went for a ride on my new scooter. Been trying to find the right words to explain what it felt like. I rode around the new neighborhood nearby. No cars, wide roads. One I got the hang of things, it was quiet and peaceful. I said hello to people in their yards and giggled when I put my turn signal on. I feel so silly but I even teared up a bit. 45 years old and have never driven a car. And yes, I understand that my lil' 7mph vroomer doesn't even compare in the real world, in MY word, a world where my body is becoming frustratingly less reliable, this amazing miracle that sits in my parking spot means ... freedom. Lame explanation, but if you need more, I'll just have to zoom on over to your house and we'll chat. ;)
