Notice & Replace

What the caterpillar calls 

the end of the world, 

the master calls 

a butterfly.     

Richard Bach

Perpetual optimism is 

a force multiplier.     

Colin Powell

I've actually I've been 

working on this

optimism thing

for some time,

 and even making a 

bit of progress. . .

I would say that giving oneself

PERMISSION for Optimism

is crucial and tricky at first.

Quick rejection of negative

projections 

[ " fear " ]

is key. 

Notice & Replace!

Replace rumination on the future

with something that 

makes your heart glow

right here - right now:

"Come To Bed"

A problem is a chance for 

you to do your best.     

            Duke Ellington

Life is like riding a bicycle

To keep your balance

you must keep moving.

It's is never too late 

to be what you

might have been.

It is during our 

darkest moments 

that we must focus 

to see the light.

Dwell on the beauty of life. 

Watch the stars, 

and see yourself 

running with them.

You are never alone

The force that guides 

the stars guides 

you too.

Ride Repeat Ride

A  L  O  H  A !

Keep walking, despite the 

impediment most heavy - 

keep walking, despite the 

agony most torturous - 

keep walking, despite the 

mockery most foul - 

just keep walking, 

for, your walk counts – 

for, your walk is not 

just your walk, but 

the walk of our 

whole humanity.

          Abhijit Naskar

Although our intellect 

always longs for 

clarity and certainty, 

our nature often finds 

uncertainty fascinating. 

     Carl von Clausewitz

Do not despise your 

own place and hour. 

Every place is 

under the stars, 

every place is the 

center of the world. 

    John Burroughs

Some Have Been Pro-Duck-Tive!

Together we can 

face any challenges 

as deep as the ocean 

and as high 

as the sky. 

   Sonia Gandhi

Grab a drink,

a few friends,

and go for a 

socially distant 

walk!

Or Not!

ⳢⲊ

One of the lessons 

of riding on two wheels 

is about obstacles in the road. 

We tend to focus on obstacles. 

But we go where we look

and it draws us right to them. 

Notice obstacles yes, but 

do not dwell on them. 

Set your face to the open path 

and the place you want to go 

and soon the obstacle 

will be behind you. 

Ride repeat ride and you get 

to your destination.

Ride On!

Love You!

Even being introverts
it is sometimes nice
to get out. The good folks
at Down To Earth
prepared our groceries
and brought them
outside to the car.

We took a brief tour
of our old home of
Manoa Valley. So
many memories!

It was cheap nostalgic
therapy and a drive
on a lovely day.

Happy Father's Day
to them all!

Hope your weekend
was surprised by
some stirrings of
beauty and hope
in this unique time.
