parenting... dog ownership... being a cyclist

it is funny... life can be a burden
even the things we love can be a burden

parenting... dog ownership... and being a cyclist
these are perhaps three of my favorite things

I do not always want to get on the bike... but I do
I do not always want to walk the dog... but I do
I do not always want to play with the kids... but I do
and
there there are paybacks... and not all paybacks are hell

riding a bike is a joy
walking a dog is a joy
being a parent is a joy
but you need to embrace it and indulge in it
and then... you will love it

I love being a cyclist
I love being a dog owner
and 
I most definitely love being a dad
but there are times when the responsibilities are a burden
I accept that
