What Task Seemed Too Big?
Two weeks from July 18 until Empire State Bike Tour.
Two 62-mile ride days this week!
Whew! Made me tired & I did it.
At about 45 miles,
I started thinking,
“Too much, I’ll call Bob to bring car.”
As I thought about next describable spot
For being picked up, I realized,
“I can get that far. Then I’ll call.”
At that site, a memorable barn,
I realized I could name the next site for pick up.
I got there!
“What’s the next possibility?”
That continued…. the next? the next?
You know what?
I rode those last 17 miles,
Completing 62 miles,
Under my own steam.
Yippee!
I speak about breaking down lengths / tasks,
Into manageable bits.
Without thinking about that “script,”
That’s what I did!
Experiences from the bike seat,
Apply to many life tasks.
Take baby-steps.
Do bits & pieces.
We will get it done!
Limerick:
When what’s to be covered is too much,
Address the task with your lighter touch.
With increments small,
You can do it all.
Small-bit completion – your wisdom crutch.
Hugs to you,
Lin
