These are the Days... pre-ride inspiration

Prior to our 100 mile bike ride in Tahoe I provide my team with this reading for inspiration.

As you ride today, take it all in… see what we see.. when you are battling blood cancer everything looks different. Everything is beautiful. The trees are amazing, the water is crystal clear. The people are so colorful. The world is a different place when you think you are not going to see it again. Take in the day, cherish it. Remember


These are the days
These are days you’ll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it,
You’ll know it’s true
That you are blessed and lucky
It’s true that you
Are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you
These are days that you’ll remember
When May is rushing over you
With desire to be part of the miracles
You see in every hour
You’ll know it’s true
That you are blessed and lucky
It’s true that you are touched
By something that will grow and bloom in you

These are days
These are the days you might fill
With laughter until you break
These days you might feel
A shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do
Then you’ll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning
It's true
Then you’ll know how it was meant to be

Hear the signs and know they’re speaking
To you, to you
These are the days
