Cinco De Crasho, Bagel Day, and The Perfect Ride

Well first off thanks for the people who took the time to view my blog, I really appreciate it.  I hope it continues to be a source of inspiration and refreshment for you during your already busy days. Today is Cinco De Mayo, or the 5th of May it also happens to be my wife’s and I bagel day.  My wife and I have a Thursday morning Tradition we affectionately call Bagel Day in which we usually get up and I go out via the best transportation for the day to bring home the  chocolate chip baked goodies from one our favorite local shops.  While sharing with her the ideas of today’s blog topic, she mentioned to me that It was the 5th of May and that last year on the 5th of May, I had taken her out for lunch and upon returning promptly crashed our minivan (yeah I rock a minivan like my Man KJ-52) while talking to my parents on the good old cell phone.  She thought I could jokingly title the blog entry today something like “Cinco De Crasho!”
                While I know a perfect anything is only an idea we can all strive for, luckily we have our head and heart to guide us.   In my head I know the way to drive, ride, pretty much know how to do anything if I take the time to think about it and practice it.  My heart also knows my desires and wishes and tendencies.  If I remember way back to the times when I took my Basic Riding Classes I seem to remember one idea; the concept that all crashes are made up of a multitude of factors.  In my head I knew I should know the way back home and how to proceed safely, but my head didn’t remember the new traffic light.  My heart knew I loved my parents enough to call them, but it forgot the love I have for others.  The two combined along with other factors to cause that accident. 
My wife knows my head and heart, and so do my extended family and friends.  I pray that we all would follow our head and hearts, while taking the time to consider the head and hearts of our family, friends, and possibly one day future friends.   Hope you all have a great 5th day of May.
