Ed and I got up early and did a short loop on our bikes while Willma and Gudron did a long walk. It was good to get on the bike again. Tomorrow’s ride is to be longer.
The book I told you about is called Untamed Spirit, around the world on a motorcycle by Doris Maron. I have started her second book entitled Untamed Spirit II, living a dream. I recommend both.
There are a couple quotes from her book that really hit home. The first, “Thoughts are seeds that, if fed and watered, grow into realities”. So true.
The second, “The moment one is committed, providence moves too. Doors open where there were no doors before. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred.” Also very true.
In her books, she experienced many of the same things I have experienced. People are basically good wherever you go and there always seems to be an angel looking out for us solo adventurers.
And finally, in book two. She says,” We have the ability to accomplish whatever we set out to do if we can believe and trust that all things will come to us at the right time and in the right place.” I couldn’t have said it better.
So at least I got on the bike today and it felt really good. Looking forward to tomorrow.
