Sanibel Island Day 4
Appreciating the Journey: 10 miles
Sunday, March 10, 2019
Hello Dear Friends,
Destination today was to ride through "high rent" area,
Noticing architecture and landscaping,
Beautiful foliage and flowers.
Amazing small world encounter there:
Woman walking her dog near dwelling I wondered about.
I asked. We talked. She's from Minnesota.
Turned out, her husband had been
President of Malt-O-Meal!
You MN readers will know that Malt-O-Meal,
Established in early 1900's, is in Northfield.
What were the chances?
Lovely Lady; wished me Happy Birthday.
Bicycling mileage was low and slow.
Absolutely delightful!
Reminding me that taking time to appreciate my journey,
Is what I can choose to do daily,
On or off bicycle, in any place.
Sometimes being out of usual schedule and location,
Lets me savor the bits and pieces of my day more deliberately.
I hope to take that home with me.
Hugs to each of you,
Lin

Same barber for Bob as MN
Warm weather means outdoor haircut!

Limerick:
I saw a kind lady out strolling
So I stopped my tires from rolling.
"The blossoms right here,
Each merit a cheer,"
The flowers and foliage extolling!
Ibis flock on the ground
