I'm more of a "hope" kind of guy. Hope I don't get a flat, hope I remembered my water, hope I survive the ride, hope the dogs remember me when I get home, etc... I do tend to "be in the moment" when riding and the aches and pains I live with seem to vanish, I'm a kid again...... I do give thanks for being alive when I wake up, just wish the dogs would let me sleep till 6 instead of 4:30am.
