Patience and Flexibility

Today brought lessons in patience and flexibility.
I am a VERY impatient “waiting-person.”
If you know me well, that’s not new to you.

Arriving at Glens Falls, Queensbury Hotel at 3pm,
We had one hour wait for 4:00pm check-in.
That stretched to six o’clock.

Wind — Help or Hinder?

Eight weeks from June 5 until start of Empire State Ride.

Another day of big wind & high temps,
Requiring my careful time-plan to ride bike.
That is, for my optional bike rides.

What Captured Your Time?

12 weeks until start of Empire State Bike Tour

Not much biking for me this week.
“Living-my-life-happy” events,
Things that come ’round annually,
Were center of attention.

Grey Days

Grey days are hard for me,
Damping down my optimism.
Canceling out thoughts of
Positive action.

Shaking it up

How have you “livened” up your COVID life this week?
Let me think of that question for myself …
Stationary bike riding let me finish very good book.

New Goal Set

Biking this autumn season shift, prompts my setting Second-Half Bike-Season Mileage goal:
One thousand by October 15.

Season Shifts

What do you ponder as summer rolls into autumn?
I philosophize on cornfields and life!

61st Anniversary

Today is Bob’s and my anniversary. Sixty-one years! Amazing number of years have passed. Amazing experiences those years have held.

Wind and Life

For me,
Bicycle = Workout Membership + Mental Health Therapist.

Limitation, Loss, Recommit

Riding lifted my spirits this morning.
It had been hard to push myself out the door. Why is it that even when we know things that give zest to life, we stall?

Being so seen

You have been wonderful! Generous & kind, responding to “Thrive” magazine article. The outpouring of encouragement, […]

Best Bike Time

Heat can sap energy & resolve. I have to get out in early cool-of-day. Otherwise, I’m melted into puddle of stultified immobility. Ugh.
