pedaling proclamation

On Wednesday morning there was joy on the Midtown Greenway. The dog and I were on an average west bound walk, got to the community garden behind Wells Fargo near 35W, and turned around to return home. As we walked eastward a man on a bike, also pedaling east, passed us. He was singing softly, riding no-handed and playing "air drums" as he traveled toward his destination. His joy made me happy. As I watched him disappear into the sunrise, I hoped his happy attitude affected more people.

I needed a little boost because I'm really struggling with the dog's behavior. Before Aly left she bought a new gentle leader collar for Mattie. It has helped, but the dog got out of it one day and made a lunge at someone carrying their dog--in their concern about the crazy barking dog. My time with the dog exiting the building to get outside, then wondering about people and dogs we will encounter outdoors is really stressful.
