Saturday is such a wonderful day. I decided to take a leisurely thirty minute Peloton ride with Jess King. She’s a red headed spunky instructor who smiles a lot and has a fun attitude. Her “Women's History Month” ride featured Reba McEntire’s country music. In the first few minutes Jess King quotes Reba saying, “ To succeed in life you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.” I had never heard this before and I thought it was a wonderful way to think about your life. I believe I’m successful in having a wishbone and a funny bone in my life, but the bone I need to work harder on is backbone. After hearing this quote, I decided to write to someone who sent me an uncomfortable text unfairly doubting me. I debated letting it go. You often can’t win with people like this. But, then I heard that quote and told myself to have a backbone. Quotes can be so powerful.

I love this quote and admit that backbone is the toughest of the three. It's hard to decide what to let go and what to counter. I appreciate your description of the Peloton instructor Jess, too. I see the ads but wondered how "real" people regard that virtual training. Glad Saturday is going well!

I could really feel the rhythm of your Saturday and enjoyed the musing over the various bones. Glad you got your backbone in order. I'm sure it feels good to right that wrong and answer that text. Here's to courage and strength.
