Where Is The Blessing In Bellyaching?
My body and mind had conspired,
Which made me feel achy and tired.
I found that the best,
Was hours of rest.
Seems just what my psyche required.
Fear, Assumptions, and Relief!
Hearing “Bloops” can cause hilarity.
Answers one speaks with sincerity—
That don’t match at all,
Can even appall,
Lacking my hearing’s dexterity.

What Story Will You Tell?
Here’s what I think can come of sharing.
We learn beyond that which is glaring.
We learn what we’ve done,
For cause or for fun—
We learn of our daring and caring.

What Do You Notice In An “Ordinary” Week?
Reviewing the contents of each day,
I often pass over and just say,
“It’s really so small,
No meaning at all”.
Deserving instead, a big Hooray!
Creative Tweaks To Keep At It
On hot days when riding seems frightful,
To be out, is less than delightful.
Explore a new way,
Engage in your day.
Make all of your choices “insightful.”
Like Trying To Lose Weight
The day we put in was a hard one.
Our internal voices screamed “Not Fun!”
Hang in through the day,
While making your way.
With real satisfaction t’ward outcome.
What Recurrent Task Has Turned Into “Ritual”?
I start this task that’s habitual,
Simple, and even instinctual.
I note with surprise,
That here in disguise,
Is something that is now a Ritual.

What Has Filled Your “Sense of Purpose” This Week?
For me, that question feels hard to answer.
Is that true for you as well?
This week I’ve watched & listened to
Daily interviews about “Radically Reframing Aging.”
How Are You Preparing for Your Next “Big Thing”?
So rather than being judgmental,
What if instead, you could be gentle?
I think we will find,
That when we are kind,
Our progress is still incremental!!

How Do You Stay Upright When Walking?
Figuring out how to stay walking upright
Is pretty important.
I’m talking about the actual, physical upright
Of walking in winter.
What Decision Have You “Wrestled” Recently?
Making decisions? — hard for me.
So many angles to consider.
How is November Landing for You?
Natural season changes coming soon,
I’m resisting.
Positive possibilities haven’t yet grabbed me.
In that way, I’m sort of a “Grump-Slump”.
Have you ever been in that spot?
