These Days — How Are These Days For You?

On rides through countryside
I pass many stands selling Pumpkins!
Do you wonder if all of those hundreds
Become Jack-O-Lanterns?

What a Privilege to Get to Tell One’s Story!

My talk this week in Farmington, MN,
FUN!
Engaged, attentive audience,
Giving me their interested response
To my story.

What Is Fun Today?

My immediate focus is preparing
A TALK for some Senior Center gigs.

I want it to be interesting,
Encouraging, — especially encouraging.
Reminding us to live fully.

What Connects You to Your Community?

Gently, gratefully, I’m home.

Biking, tasks, obligations, opportunities,
Beginning to blur together.
Yet, each exists as rich piece in my life tapestry.

Where Did You Get Help This Week?

You know that I think
Asking for Help is
BIG and BRAVE…

How Are You Cheering?

In life, or on a bicycle?
They can be Tough!

Did Things Show Up In a Different Way?

Six weeks from June 20 until Empire State Bike Tour.

Disappointment was my take—
Not getting to meet on Root River Trail,
For bike ride with son & young boys,
Plus, picnic in a park.
Seemed like loss.

Grateful For Skilled Action

Seven weeks from June 13 until start of Empire State Ride.

Does it fit to be a
Biking web post?
Gratitude?

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!

How Do Consistent & Persistent Show Up For You?

Showing up,
Completing the task.
Grumbling as I go.

I guess that’s “consistent & persistent”.

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

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

Relearning, AGAIN, that
