IGNORING THIS CHRISTMASY MESSAGE WILL MAKE YOU CRASH

I CAN'T STOP THINKING of the silliness I've practiced over the years.  Not the Christmasy stuff, which was personally a tough season for many years, but...

... ignoring the real point of it all.

Whether you're a belieber or not, doesn't matter, the principle is true...

... you can't ride your bicycle while looking backward.

Oh, you can go a ways, however the penalty of not facing forward will be paid.

Which is the message that little babe came to deliver...

... look forward with hope and faith that good things await.

He gave instructions on how to live.
He knew all would falter from time to time.
He gave a simple formula to get back on track. 

Repent.
Start anew.
Don't look back,
focus on forward.

I don't know why that is so easy to practice on a bike,
and so difficult when life's blunders serve up a shouldawouldacoulda sandwich.

Pedal on.
