Most cyclists know him as the "Fat Cyclist" and many others know him as Elden Nelson, either way, Fatty is going through some pretty tough times right now. His wife has been battling cancer for sometime now. She has fought hard and has overcome many obstacles, but it appears right now that the cancer has the upper hand. It's truly heartbreaking to read his blog right now. Again, it's one of those times to take notice of your own life and those around you. You may of complained at your spouse for something totally ridiculous......now take a second and put yourself in Eldens shoes. Small Petty things become really no big deal. Who cares if the dishes are done, or someone left their shoes in the middle of the floor. In the big picture, it doesn't matter one damn bit. We live once and we love once. Let's get it right the first time. NO Regrets.
Elden makes the comment of pushing his wife in the wheelchair around his neighborhood as they notice the beautiful fall colors. Take the long route to work tomorrow. Notice things you have never noticed before. Get up 30 minutes early just to spend some quiet time with the world around you. Treasure the moment. I hope you will.
Thanks for reading
