How Do You Get Shape Back Into Your Life When it Gets Flat?

Eleven weeks until start of Empire State Ride.

No biking to report.
Unusual week filled with time-consuming appts.

Each important with positive outcome,
Each gulping down time.

What Captured Your Time?

12 weeks until start of Empire State Bike Tour

Not much biking for me this week.
“Living-my-life-happy” events,
Things that come ’round annually,
Were center of attention.

What Keeps You “Plugging Along”?

Did I ask you that before?
It’s been relevant for me this week.

Staying diligent & consistent,
Increasing mileage as I ride nearly daily,
Needed an “auto-pilot” setting.

How Have “Could and Should” Balanced For You?

Yippee!
Positive start on longer ride-days.
20, 30, even a 40 miler this week!

Tell Your “Playmates” They Are FUN!

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

What’s Your “Current Carrot” On Discouraging Days?

Slightly longer rides this week.
These longer ride days are
HARD!

Relearning, AGAIN, that

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 Changed For You?

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

Grey Days

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

A Different Christmas

What was different about Christmas for you?
This week held Christmas.
Whatever that holiday means for you,
I wonder if its essence was different this year.

COVID Puzzle

What are you puzzling over in your life?

Most evenings, Bob and I work on a puzzle.
One end of dining table,
Covered with puzzle pieces.

Gratitude Day

What do you remember about your early
“Thanks and gratitude” day?
Thanksgiving this week.
I’m calling it “Official Gratitude Day.”
