Honestly accept the journey into physical diminishment as the new learning curve in your life and embrace it with curiosity and beginner’s mind. Keep facing forward with a gently yielded heart; that is always the direction from which the new integration emerges.

These are the morning clouds on my way to the coffee shop this past Thursday while bicycling across campus. I do like riding my bicycle because of scenes and moments like this. But I also hope it decreases some physical diminishment in this aging process we all are on. I also find it’s a great way to start my day and be actively a part of nature. I hope you have a wonderful Saturday!!

I’m becoming well aware of the physical diminishment of the aging process. Bonnie and I just returned from a little road trip, and a few long days of driving and riding clearly take more of a toll than they used to. I’ve got to get more dedicated with my walking. I don’t think I’d get the most use out of a bike where I’m now, but I’m happy you’re finding it a positive pleasure.

I would like to include more walking with my bicycling also but my back and hip issues just don’t allow me to walk as much as I used to. The bicycling has helped me get back into a little better shape, not have the wear and tear on my back and left hip, and increases my cardio. Actually I could make a lengthy list of diminishing body parts. But I’m not going to use this blog as a place to whine.
