Being so excited you leave your bike helmet on

Being so excited you leave your bike helmet on

Do you ever see kids on the playground with their bike helmets on?
Sometimes you spot them riding up to the sandy lots with heads full of steam and eyes staring forward with steely determination. They are on a mission to get some playing in, buddy. And nothing’s going to get in their way.
Nope, not even pausing for a minute to unclasp their bike helmet. Are you kidding? They are in such a rush that they bail on the bike, run across the sand, and jump on the jungle gym with their helmet bobbing all over the place in one majestic, sweeping move.
Good times.
AWESOME!

When you flip to the radio station just as that song you love is starting

I’m a non-stop twiddler. Weaving through traffic,  speeding down the ramps , cruising through the city, I’ve got one hand on the wheel and the other tapping through the radio dials. Sure, I swing by for traffic and weather, but then I’m off — checking if the host is back on my main station, cruising by the backups to see what’s playing, or even stopping in for a couple innings of the  ball game . Once in a while I end up on a station I don’t visit very often just as the opening notes are kicking in for one of my old favorites. As the drum kicks and guitar strums jolt my memory back and scratch my brain stem just the right way, I smile and settle in for a few minutes of  head-bopping bliss  on the drive home. AWESOME!

Turning off all the lights and opening the blinds during a thunderstorm

Hey, it’s not like you can play outside, go swimming, ride your bike, or walk to the store. So just flick off the lights, yank open the blinds, and stare out the window at the majestic streaks of bright lightning cracking down all around you. AWESOME!

Listening to your new favorite song over and over and over again

Memorize the lyrics, remember the beats, and hit  the back button  again and again until your new favorite tune is permanently etched in your brain. AWESOME!
