Hard work that you share is connecting.
Though sometimes you feel like objecting.
What you’ve gotten done,
Though not always fun,
Gets you to the goal you’re expecting.

Last Day G.A.R.T. Ride
My portion of this ride has ended.
The time that I’ve shared has been blended
With Hills and with Heat.
With good folks to meet.
My mem-or-ies will be quite splendid.

Flipping the Switch
With things feeling heavy & funky.
An outlook that’s all dark & gunky.
A giggle or two,
Will help you renew,
A viewpoint that’s lighter & spunky.

Facing the Elements
What’s true about riding in the heat,
It drains you and leaves you really beat,
It pays to hydrate,
Then you tolerate,
The miles without facing your defeat.

Making My Way To Waterloo
I rode all 60.5 miles today.
At times today, I thought
Best thing about the day would be
Getting to end point.
Recommitting was required, over and over.

Capricious, Heavy Duty Wind
Those times when the wind’s really blowing,
It can help you get where you’re going.
Small direction change,
Can make things quite strange,
Wind’s no longer helping, it’s slowing.

Oh Happy Day
My biking day was SO very fun.
Tomorrow I’ll give it “another run.”
When I bike awhile,
And it makes me smile,
I’m happy-tired, when the ride is done.
Silver Lining
All riding in the van is quite rare,
It gives opportunity to share,
Our stories we tell,
And get to know well,
Our seat mate—connections build more care!
What’s Best About Home For You?
When looking at ground while it’s snowing,
It’s hard to remember the growing.
It will come to be.
That’s when I will see
Green plantings push through and get going.

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.”
