Flipping the Switch

Cedar Rapids to West Branch, IA: 43 miles
How do you turn things around on a difficult day?
I did not ride today.
Others rode in 90+ heat.
Ten days ago, I twisted
An intercostal muscle (between ribs).
This morning realized it needed
Healing Rest.
Into van for today.
My advantage …
Not riding in high heat.
Still felt like shirking.
Others were riding in heat.
Here's what I know:
Comparison is downright discouraging!
Here was amazing turn-around point:
Donna from CO said,
“Come look at clothes in this closet.”
Oh Wow! Dress-up time.
We tried things on & howled with laughter!
Laughing shifted my mood,
Lifted my heavy funk.
Finding humor really can lmprove outlook.
I'm back on track.
Hugs,
Lin
Limerick:
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.
Sleep space for 4 women.
Playing dress-up with clothes in Air Bnb and howling with laughter!
Donna from CO raiding dress-up closet.
Great dress-up possibility.
Christmas tree in great room of our Air Bnb. Ready for any season!
Fortunately plenty of garage space for bike storage.
Cyclists on couch catching up with emails.
