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?
Third week of October —
Blue skies and weather warm enough for
Glorious outdoor time!
I’m just back from speaking to
Great group of women.
Waseca, MN, Catholic Daughters —
They are my expanded awareness.
Another speaking opportunity this week,
Reminding me that there is always more to learn.
I “got” the parallel, that
Like bike trips, there are predictable parts,
Bicycles, miles pedaled, hills, weather.
My talk this week in Farmington, MN,
FUN!
Engaged, attentive audience,
Giving me their interested response
To my story.
You never know when your web
Of connections will overlap!
Ride took us through “Park of Trails,”
In Rochester NY.
“Notorious for people getting lost.”
My good fortune—riding behind Nancy!
Not lost.
“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.
For a couple of months,
My total focus — riding miles, gaining strength.
Good results, I am stronger.
Effort well-put.
Riding one day this week,
Passing corn field, I thought…
You know that I think
Asking for Help is
BIG and BRAVE…
Yippee!
Positive start on longer ride-days.
20, 30, even a 40 miler this week!
Quiet bike trail.
Quiet ride “playmate”, Bob,
Pedaling under new-green fringe of spring,
Truly FUN!
Mine came from 13-year-old source.
“Seems big — but
Actually, just bunch of little things”.
