How Did You Connect This Week?

My Birthday!
This weekend I turned 82 years old.

With that, a wealth of
Connections for me to cherish.

What Is Your Winter Focus?

This time can prompt our noticing
Connection, similarity,
In simplest activity.

Varying routine

What are you able to do to vary your routine?

Bob and I took another “loop” drive.
Our three-hour outing,
Started and ended in our own garage.

Nurturing Expansion

What have you “explored” recently?
Even though we’ve had MN as home for fifty years,
Seldom have Bob and I explored MN.

79-year-old to the rescue

Bob and I came upon a LARGE tree branch blocking bike trail. Off we got to move it aside. Push, pull, twist, — progress. Final need was lifting branch to clear post. Heavy, heavy, we couldn’t lift high enough. Behind us a voice…

Life Sparks

What “spark” did you plan for yourself? Spark in my life—fun, spirit-lifting outing—a trailhead site in Houston, MN: Root River Trail.

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?

Cover Girl

Exciting event for me:
I’m a Cover Girl!
Never thought I’d say that…

Life Balance

“Do I do this? Or that?” “Will I have enough energy to do it all?”
The need for life balance is a reality for us all. How do you embrace your passionate, zest-filled activity and still do everything else?

New Dreams Afoot

Bike riding is happening! Not in the way of a trip. New creative configurations, Fun and satisfying.

Fun-Day

Loss and joy can coexist. This week is certainly proof of that. My hard decision not to ride the East Coast ride this Fall lives beside delight of celebrating Bob’s 85th birthday.

To Plan Or Not To Plan

How are you in this extraordinary time? Dealing with quarantine, new isolation, can be draining on many levels. I’m planning ahead and acting as if.” How about you?
