Bike rides and cold days

So, I learned a lesson today: It's easier to walk than to try and ride a bike with a flat tire. So, I'd reccomend to any of you out there who want to get in shape, just make sure your bike tire is good and flat and go on a nice long bike ride with it. : ) (and if you're still not satisfied, try riding it up a large hill like that. )
I came back home and it's still winter, everything is ugly and dead(and there's no snow) and it feels like no time has passed since I left. In Belfast when I left, the mountains by glencairn were a nice green, the flowers were all coming out, it may have still been a wee bit cold, but it didn't look dead. Today makes me wish I were back there so that I could go hiking up the mountain that I did quite often.
I really wish I had something interesting to write about today, but I don't. Some days you can write, some days, well you just write to write- and aren't really saying anything. Do you think that's a waste of words? I do. You can waste food. You can waste money. You can waste nearly anything, I think you can waste words too. It seems like people, me included, waste words all the time. We spend words on people- we talk about people, we hurt people, we talk about this and that, all the things we have accumulated, all the things we are going to do, where we've been, what we've accomplished. We talk about us. ourselves. How often do we talk to someone to actually get to know them? How often do we make small talk, or talk about something to someone just so that we may better understand where they are coming from? When was the last time I used my words to help someone? How often do we say words we don't mean, and how often do we say words that don't mean anything at all ? Don't use your words lightly.
