Lighten Up

I will change the way I’m preparing—
For travel. I’m hereby declaring:
To gently take heed,
Of what I most need.
The franticness mindset repairing!

Fitness Tricks

When launched on your pathway to fitness,
And you are your only eye witness—
Will you follow through?
Do what you must do?
Be wary of moving to quit-ness!

Out of a Down

When I have a “run” of forgetting,
No doubt the results are upsetting.
I’m close to despair,
Still one can declare,
An outcome may show up abetting.

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.

Power of Perspective

Consider the power in a change of perspective.

I learned that “kill” means “river” in Dutch.
Makes the town name “better to my ear.”

On road at 6:45 a.m.
Attempt to beat-the-heat.

Trail beside Hudson River,
Lovely trees, great views.

“Aunt Lin, you’ll have hills on your ride,”
Niece Elizabeth said in an email,
About two months ago.

Hills-schmills, I thought.
I can pedal up hills.

What are you able to do to vary your routine?

Bob and I took another “loop” drive.
Our three-hour outing,
Started and ended in our own garage.

Shaking it up

How have you “livened” up your COVID life this week?
Let me think of that question for myself …
Stationary bike riding let me finish very good book.

Hot Dogs to S’mores

My granddaughter got to go camping. I asked what she had for food. “Hot dogs.”

Lessons From a Frog

Making a story from what I see, creating a lesson from the critter in front of my tire, Is part of fun of bicycling.

What rhymes with grumpy

Google gives me “grumpy” rhymes… Are all of those really words?

Bird-bombed

There was no “splat” involved, but it was still a memorable bird adventure!
