Since I was in the Poconos, I decided to take my bike out for a spin. I hadn’t ridden a bike since we went trail riding in August and I knew that the mountains would make for an awesome ride. There’s nothing like flying down a hill and then giving it your all to push yourself back up, to start all over again.

About halfway through my ride, I caught a glimpse of the sunset from behind the trees. My ride became a mission to find a good view of the sunset. A few turns later, I rode up to a big open field with the sun setting just behind the trees. The streets around me were absolutely peaceful and the sun set was breathtaking. The only regret that I had, was that I didn’t bring my DSLR camera along for the ride to get some good shot of the sun.

Once the sun got below the trees, I hopped back on my bike and rode home since it would be getting dark soon. Overall, my ride wasn’t especially long or far and it wasn’t the best workout that I had gotten all week, but I returned home with a silly smile on my face. Had I not gone out for the ride, I would’ve missed the gorgeous sunset. Had I not have turned on the TV, I would’ve never gone out for the ride. It’s funny how some small thing can inspire you, and through that inspiration you stumble upon something gorgeous.

Look for the beauty in the small things.

What’s the last thing that inspired you?
