How is November Landing for You?

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

How Did Your Awareness Expand This Week?

I’m just back from speaking to
Great group of women.
Waseca, MN, Catholic Daughters —
They are my expanded awareness.

These Days — How Are These Days For You?

On rides through countryside
I pass many stands selling Pumpkins!
Do you wonder if all of those hundreds
Become Jack-O-Lanterns?

Where Have Different Circumstances Expanded Your View?

Another speaking opportunity this week,
Reminding me that there is always more to learn.
I “got” the parallel, that
Like bike trips, there are predictable parts,
Bicycles, miles pedaled, hills, weather.

What a Privilege to Get to Tell One’s Story!

My talk this week in Farmington, MN,
FUN!
Engaged, attentive audience,
Giving me their interested response
To my story.

What Is Fun Today?

My immediate focus is preparing
A TALK for some Senior Center gigs.

I want it to be interesting,
Encouraging, — especially encouraging.
Reminding us to live fully.

What Connects You to Your Community?

Gently, gratefully, I’m home.

Biking, tasks, obligations, opportunities,
Beginning to blur together.
Yet, each exists as rich piece in my life tapestry.

Pedal to the next destination!

Knowing THE SINGLE thing

Needing to be accomplished in a day,

Is probably my favorite things about a bike trip.

Pedal to the next destination!

Tending Time

How are you tending your time?

I am so privileged to have been on this trip
Choosing what makes my heart sing.
Lucky me.

This has been my last day
Riding & being with this bicycle group.

Small World

You never know when your web
Of connections will overlap!

Ride took us through “Park of Trails,”
In Rochester NY.
“Notorious for people getting lost.”
My good fortune—riding behind Nancy!
Not lost.

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.
