In reply to curvyroads. Thanks for your comments. They have been an unexpected gift of blogging for me. Knowing what others think, feel and experience provides more support and energy than I would have imagined. And I second the notion of true words. Life does unfold right in front of me. Right now.

A very belated Happy New Year, Steve.

Like another commenter above, I don’t always leave a comment, but always read and enjoy your thoughtful and insightful posts. I honestly haven’t known what to say recently, knowing your wife is facing health issues and also knowing the mental anguish that comes from a loved one being unwell. Suffice it to say that I so appreciate your musings, and wish you both all the best in 2018.

“Life unfolds right here, right now.” Truer words were never written. 🙂

In reply to Bradley. The things you outline for your clean page seem a foundation for a fine life. A clean page is a great metaphor for what the new year means for me as well. Never looked at it that way. Thanks for sharing the thought. Best wishes to you and your family for the new year.

As a South African, reflection o f the past year has been entertaining, to say the least. I see the the new year as a clean page – waiting for ME to create the words. Hard work, giving love to my family, and of course, spending some time on my scooter to clear my head occasionally. Blessings to you Steve for a prosperous new year, and I look forward to your posts.

Hello Bill,

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate the kind words and your reflections on where your life is going.

Maine is such a wonderful place. Kim and I used to visit twice a year to escape and unwind along the southern coast. We never really took the opportunity to explore the inland wilderness areas but I can imagine how powerful mother nature presents herself there.

My difficulty riding in the cold seems to correlate directly with my increase in age. Have to push hard some days to go out with the dogs let alone get on the scooter. But I’m still fighting.

Best wishes to you and your family for the new year. Stay warm and enjoy what nature has to offer.

Steve,
Here in Maine it is a little too cold and snowy for me to be riding. I do however look forward to your riding adventures and inspirational blogs in 2018. Now well into my seventies you continue to inspire me to get out and enjoy what mother nature has created and for that I am truly grateful. Happy and healthy New Year to you, Kim and of course, the pups!

In reply to BWB (amateriat).

The new year holds rich possibilities. And I know for me that many limitations I encounter aren’t quite real. So there’s work to do and life to live.

Happy New Year!

In reply to Steve Brooke.

There’s much to be grateful for when I stop to think about it. And the things that make me smile or provide satisfaction are quite simple. I’ve been working on a post about this stuff and I’m surprised how rich life is without even realizing. Ah, the things you discover when you sit for a few minutes with your thoughts.

Best wishes to you and yours for the new year.
