Hard Can Create Satisfaction
Rides that have given great pleasure,
Are memories I’ll always treasure.
The things that I’ll do,
Will challenge me through,
And satisfy me beyond measure.
Dreaming Gap
My reading’s expanding my learning,
And ramped up my interest and yearning.
If that dream is true,
The thing I could do,
Is let “planning-wheels” start their turning.

Making My Way To Waterloo
I rode all 60.5 miles today.
At times today, I thought
Best thing about the day would be
Getting to end point.
Recommitting was required, over and over.

Capricious, Heavy Duty Wind
Those times when the wind’s really blowing,
It can help you get where you’re going.
Small direction change,
Can make things quite strange,
Wind’s no longer helping, it’s slowing.
How Are You Preparing for Your Next “Big Thing”?
So rather than being judgmental,
What if instead, you could be gentle?
I think we will find,
That when we are kind,
Our progress is still incremental!!
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?

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 Self-Care
Bike trips have SO many
Learning Opportunities!
Self-Care is definitely one.
I get embarrassed to report that I didn’t
Bike ALL miles.
My after-lunch decision to get driven in
By SAG in van—
Very smart.

Whose Help Are You Grateful For
I rode with Susan, MG, & Stan.
Thank goodness! Wonderful help.
Being with folks who read directions well,
Know how to use a GPS on phone,
Got me here without being lost.
Whew, I hate being lost.
That can make me feel panicked.

Making Order From Chaos
I thought every item was stowed for
Easy retrieval.
Not so.
Back to square one for organizing,
Creating some order out of chaos.
When I’ve ridden with niece Elizabeth,
First two evenings always include
Your Story
Are you sharing your story?
My Friend, you never know
Where your story will prompt
Someone’s reaching bigger.
