“She wasn’t just talking about biking,
She was talking about life.”

Yes!!!

It was one of THE most 
Affirm-my-talk comments
I’ve overheard after speaking—   

Two over-90-years guys,
Leaving the room on their walkers,
Enthused with the reminder that
We have today. Don’t wait.

I talk about, and write about
Bicycle-riding metaphors, 
Because that’s where I’ve experienced them.

Biking up some long hill,
Noticing the next pedal-stroke,
Shifting to be able to manage the terrain.
I know they fit in my off-bike life too.

They fit anyone’s desire to use life’s days fully,
To stretch & feel there are possibilities,
Know doing and learning are still possible.

Our little bitty actions,
One-day-at-a-time efforts,
Keep us engaged and participating.

Grab your intention /dream /task /hope—
Make the most of “possible.”
We don’t have to be biking.

Don’t wait. Do it now.

We have today,
Let’s live it!

Hugs.
Lin

Limerick:
Some changes can seem quite constraining,
Can challenge our thoughts of maintaining
Some positive ways,
Of filling our days.
Our life-view then needs some retraining.

  1. Dear Lin,

    I read this post after finishing my “hill” of the morning–380 new words on a novel-in-progress today. Reading your words made me feel as though a friendly face was cheering me on, saying you can do it! That first draft is not impossible! Have fun while you are at it!

    Thanks, coach!

    Leslie
