Dusting Off, Getting Out
My unridden bike is all dusty.
I’m glad that it’s dusty, not rusty.
And once that I clean,
This much loved machine,
I’ll ride on this bike that’s so trusty.

Celebrating Life
When you come upon your next Birthday,
Please think upon it as a “Gateway.”
Just what will there be—
To live and to see?
To dig in and know, or just survey?

Conservation Revelation
You can’t tell a gift by its wrapping.
May quietly come without flapping.
It could come to be,
A sight that you see.
Some new view that sets your hands clapping.

Lighten Up
I will change the way I’m preparing—
For travel. I’m hereby declaring:
To gently take heed,
Of what I most need.
The franticness mindset repairing!

Start Where You Are
Whatever path you are traveling,
Make note of how much you are tackling.
Impossible stunt?
Put one foot in front,
Of the other; Yes you are dazzling!

Uphill Days
Some route-days are really hard biking.
The effort they take is quite striking.
Does that mean I”m done,
With biking for fun?
Of course not. It’s still to my liking!

Embracing Abundance
Activities, plus time for biking,
Variety—that I am liking.
It is very true,
That what you can do,
Depends on the balance you’re striking.

Compare To Despair
As you listen with interest, beware.
Don’t let yourself slide to despair.
Sharing of stories,
Lows and of glories,
Truly listen, but Do Not Compare!

Days of Different
I’m viewing the wonder of new sights,
Flowers, and ocean, and mountain heights.
Magnificent—true!
Still, visits with you
Are brightest for me, beyond city lights.

Go Play Everyday
Life can get heavy and serious.
Mindset can be deleterious.
Have fun and go play,
To brighten your way.
Remedy clear! Not mysterious.

Many Faces of Help
When not knowing how is impeding,
And gets in the way of proceeding,
The best thing to do,
To get your new view …
Get Help for your road to succeeding!

Cheers To Progress
When something you’ve worked for has happened,
Announce it as upbeat, not flattened.
No di-min-ish-ment.
Try sig-ni-fi-cant
Cheers to keep happy, never saddened.
