I'm Eating an Elephant!

     During her battle with Ovarian Cancer, my mom would always say, "Janis, how do you eat an elephant?" She usually said this when the family became overwhelmed and our answer always had a calming effect, "One bite at a time." That's how she fought her battle with cancer. Instead of looking at the whole picture, she took it a day at a time. It is overwhelming if you look at the battle as a whole.

      Now I'm not comparing bike riding 1000 Km to fighting cancer...don't get me wrong however at the moment, it's my battle. I'm looking at the Tour de Rock as my elephant and it's a large elephant. I can't eat the whole thing at once however as mom's words ring through my head...I can eat it one piece at a time! Luckily I began eating it in March so by the beginning of Tour on September 24, I should only have a few more pieces to eat before the elephant is gone! It has been a big elephant and at the end I may reflect that I will miss it however.......I could always eat a rhino next?
