To Plan Or Not To Plan

Hello Friends,

How are you in this extraordinary time?
Dealing with quarantine, new isolation,
Can be draining on many levels.

The question of planning ahead comes up.
I find it best supports my mental outlook,
To plan ahead and proceed “as if.”

My 2020 Big Bike Ride Plan:
Join a bike group to ride Portland, ME ->
Virginia Beach (or is it Newport News?), VA.
Sept 18 ---Oct 20, 2020.

This is about half way down East Coast of U.S.A.
East Coast is 4th "side" of U.S.
The one I've not yet ridden.
I've wanted to ride this piece of U.S. perimeter.
Now is the time to tackle that dream.

Then in 2021, I'll join company again
To ride VA -> FL section.

Right now, any bike trip is
"Maybe can happen.”

I'm starting to train to be ready.

I'm excited!
I'll let you know
Whatever I learn
About this trip.
Lucky me, preparing for another bike adventure!

How about you?
How are you feeding your soul?
Stretching to find ways
To give life to your days?

I’d love to hear from you,
I read every reply and comment.

Hugs to each of you,
Lin

Limerick:

We hear constant news of the Virus.
Bombardment with gloom that can tire us.
Far better to do
That fun thing for you.
You never know how you'll inspire us!
