Tell Your “Playmates” They Are FUN!

Quiet bike trail.
Quiet ride “playmate”, Bob,
Pedaling under new-green fringe of spring,
Truly FUN!

This season, our riding is
Suited to our different goals.
Means many solo rides.

My determination to gain
Stamina for long miles of my August trip.
Bob’s commitment to building
Strength after winter of no-biking.

Afternoon designed for ride together,
Special treat and FUN!

Not to take it for granted,
To tell my husband of 62 years,
He’s my favorite “Ride Playmate”,
Rather than assume he knows.

Noticing what matters,
Who shows up,
What enriches my life —
I have today to be sure
I say that.

One-pedal-stroke-at-a-time,
One-word-at-a-time.
Life moves along.

Hugs to you,
Lin
