Power of Unsolicited Help
Have you had a time of “help-needing?”
When you thought you soon would be pleading,
For someone to do
A big job for you?

Though sometimes you feel like objecting.
What you’ve gotten done,
Though not always fun,
Gets you to the goal you’re expecting.

The time that I’ve shared has been blended
With Hills and with Heat.
With good folks to meet.
My mem-or-ies will be quite splendid.
An Encouraging Grip
The ocean we viewed was quite charming,
The water was really alarming!

When Have You Felt Melancholy?

Positive possibilities haven’t yet grabbed me.
In that way, I’m sort of a “Grump-Slump”.
Have you ever been in that spot?

Choose Your Route
Do you prefer crowded rush, or slower pace?
We rode about 20 miles of GOOD trail.
Very nice.
I like being on lengths of trail;
Knowing those miles are my clear route.

Power of Discernment
Learning what you don’t want
Powerful part of choosing what you DO want.
Fast food breakfast to feed many quickly.
“Tim Horton’s,” new-to-me chain.
Getting out to beat heat as much as possible.
Prompting that early breakfast source.

Choosing the Easy Way
Sometimes “the easy way” is NOT a cop-out!
Forecast of heavy rain,
Route with extremely steep hills—
Struggle up, rollercoaster down.
Decision was to shuttle all directly to Auburn.
