Waiting, Raining, Grumbling
Looking out and watching as it rains,
Watching water swirl down outside drains.
Pointless to grumble,
Even to mumble.
Weather is described for pains or gains.

How Do You Coax Out Your Confidence?
Starting out feeling NOT very brave,
Never the start point that I would crave.
One-mile-at-a-time,
On downhill or climb.
To notice the progress each mile gave.

Hanging Out With Those You Admire?
Listening to folks who are very smart,
Who make their life choices from the heart.
The thoughts that they share,
Reveal that they care,
Considering impact from the start.
Where Are You Persistent?
This task is too big; it has laid bare,
Resistance and doubt,– do I now dare
To see the job through?
Stretch what I can do?
Remember, “Keep at it. You’ll get there”.

What Was the Highlight of Your Weekend?
I went to the Zoom-time assuming
No personal tie, since we’re Zooming.
Yet to my surprise,
There’s warmth in folk’s eyes.
Participants look like they’re blooming.
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 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.

Celebrating
You know those days when you’re perfectly
In the Flow and everything’s great?
That was today.
Forty miles on bike trail,
MY picture of ideal biking.

What Task Seemed Too Big?
Two 62-mile ride days this week!
Whew! Made me tired & I did it.
At about 45 miles,
I started thinking,
What Are You “Eyeing” As Possibility?
Drumroll —Excitement!!!
I have signed up for a summer bike trip!
August 2 – 26, I’ll ride in New York State.
“Empire State Bike Tour” with BAA Co.
Power of Visibility
How do you know you are
Showing up “Loud and Proud?”*
I have “cool” new bike shirt,
High-viz orange-red, SPF 50.

Seeing Possibilities
Even though I knew
“Winter coming soon,” eight inches of snow, mid-October,
Grabbed my attention. Actually, whacked my sense of possibility.
