Honesty.

My bike was stolen from the bike rack at my apartment complex in Boise, Idaho. Awesome, right? On a better note, I am trying to stay positive & am hoping that the Boise Police can find it for me. I will be filing a report tomorrow (thank goodness I have the serial number), but this incident made me want to write about how important honesty is. There are so many good people in this world, but it seems that the "bad" ones always shadow over the good. I mean-- often times we pay more attention to negative situations than the positive ones. It's like we are doing it backwards. This world needs more honest people. I want to be able to trust my neighbors. I am going to work to pay more attention to the positive things that people do every day-- the random acts of kindness, expressions of gratitude, demonstrations of charity, etc. 

As for the bike thief-- I just have to say one word, karma. I am a college kid and don't have $500 lying around to replace my bike so I hope that your "grand idea" completely fails. However, I hope that your conscience kicks in & you make some life changes before you go too far down this negative path that you are on. People can change for the better. Every day we wake up & make the choice to be a certain way. Anyway, keep your fingers crossed that I get my bike back!
