What Are You “Eyeing” As Possibility?

Drumroll —Excitement!!!
I have signed up for a summer bike trip!

August 2 – 26, I’ll ride in New York State.
“Empire State Bike Tour” with BAA Co.

How Did You Connect This Week?

My Birthday!
This weekend I turned 82 years old.

With that, a wealth of
Connections for me to cherish.

What’s Changing In Your Activity?

Outside !!!
Pedaling up real hills,
I’m slow and puffing.
Definitely harder than stationary bike simulation!

What’s Changed For You?

Rushing toward next room,
Half way there,
I remembered —
We moved those file cabinets three weeks ago.

Where Has Kindness Shown Up This Last Week?

I was on my way out the door.
Office worker said,
“Thank you for your kindness”
“We don’t get much in this office”.

Where Is Your “Cheering Squad?”

I had a dream I remembered!
Seldom happens.
Usually disappear in jumble,
Shapes, people, bizarre circumstances.
This hung around.

What Is Your Winter Focus?

This time can prompt our noticing
Connection, similarity,
In simplest activity.

Your Story

Are you sharing your story?
My Friend, you never know
Where your story will prompt
Someone’s reaching bigger.

Connection Boost

What group connection perks up your life?

You know the feeling.
Interactions that make you
Think more clearly,
Have sense of possibility.

Power of Visibility

How do you know you are
Showing up “Loud and Proud?”*

I have “cool” new bike shirt,
High-viz orange-red, SPF 50.

Grey Days

Grey days are hard for me,
Damping down my optimism.
Canceling out thoughts of
Positive action.

New Year 1949

When I was ten years old,
I dashed outside New Year’s morning,
Filled with wonder that we had a NEW time.
I shouted up to the sky,
“This time is new!
It’s called 1949!”
