Oh You Tricky Facebook, You!

I had to get a new phone on Tuesday and in order to reinstall a few apps and log in I had to re-activate Facebook. Crazy how that works. A fella tries to take a break and they just SUCK ya right back in. I had done that once before with an account on my computer, and then deactivated immediately afterwards. 

STRAVA, a cycling tracking app, is the app I needed my Facebook account for today. I don't consider myself a cyclist, but rather a person who loves to ride any kind of bike and feel the wind in my hair and sun on my face. Nonetheless, I do like to record the rides so that I can track my progress and see where I stack up against my buds to make sure I'm ready for the bigger rides that I like to do with Ride2Recovery. 

Here is today's ride:

Things are still going well as I'm getting ready for the Ride2Recovery Texas challenge next week, riding with wounded Veterans from Houston to Dallas. I'm going to hop back off of Facebook until we start the challenge next week. It's been a great break and I'm enjoying looking at the giant and beautiful world around me rather than being buried into the tiny screen of my phone. 

I still post some pictures on Instagram, so if anyone wants to stay in the loop of what I'm up to (and lots of doggy pics) you can follow me. Username RobKugler. 

My closing motivational tidbit for the week is this:

When pursuing your passion, don't let people tell you that you can't do it....but know that it may take more work than you've ever put into anything else in your life. Also know that it doesn't have to be a career that you're chasing, but maybe you need a job/career flexible enough to allow you to pursue that thing that makes you come to life. If you find that your passion changes, it's okay to set yourself up to chase the new one. Often times we don't even know that we are passionate about something until we've been exposed to it. Life is an improvisation. We can make all the plans we want, but the universe doesn't seem to abide by our plans. So, when you find something that ignites your passion, fuels your fire, electrifies your heart, stimulates your mind, and sings to your soul...you may just owe it to yourself to let that passion guide you. After all, when you have all of the aforementioned effects happening to your mind, body and soul..you may just have the power to do anything in the world that you want to do. 

Okay, enough of my babbling. It's time for a nap.
