Good Fortune Friday the 13th

My Wishes For You On My Birthday

Friday, March 13, 2020

Hello dear friends,

Friday the 13th has been filled, for me,
With lovely good fortune.
I’m sending the same on to you.

It’s my birthday!
Eighty-one years, Friday, March 13, 2020.

Today, 21 years ago, I began my first
“Next Big Thing.”
Riding coast to coast, CA to FL.

Is it time for your Next Big Thing?

Today reminds me:
There are days of feeling swamped,
Days of feeling alone,
Days of not being able to figure out next step,
Days when hills seem too steep,
Days of preferring to stand by road
Eating peanut butter sandwiches.

Getting to my 81st birthday lets me know,
"Keeping on keeping on,”
No matter what,
Reliably moves me along my road.

I would not want to miss the journey.

So dear friend, let's stick with moving on.
Living these days withe gentle gratitude.

Sending Love, Sending Hugs,
Lin

P.S. So grateful for the help
I'm getting from
Bike builder par excellence Mike Pofahl
For greater riding comfort adaptation!

Dear Lin, You have caught up with me. Eighty-one–whew! What an amazing adventure you have created during the past twenty-one. As we move into unprecedented territory in the world, please keep moving in fresh air and open spaces to inspire us and give us hope for a happier future. Wishing you a happy and healthy 81st from the windy plains of Wyoming. Alan
