May the Wind be at your back

It’s a New Year and all the possibilities exist.

I am an optimist and a romantic at New Year’s.

I see a freshly fallen, pristine path of snow,               

not too deep,

awaiting my tracks.

I may slip and tire but,

the lessons of Winters past will help me make it.

I’m looking ahead with hope and wonder.

I’ll need good boots and a soft back wind to carry me through.

I have them, I just have to believe,

and I do.

This year I want and need someone to walk the path with me,

I haven’t met her but,

I will,

 she’s there.

… and so my friends…

May you have good traction,

may the wind be at your back,

and may a soft and strong hand keep you steady.

Happy New Year

Lots of luck,

Lots of love,

Later girls,

BB

  1. When I saw the title of this post, I thought “Excellent! BB rides a bicycle! Yea! a post about cycling in Canada!” Oh well. Still, a great Happy New Year’s! No fake over the top party post for BB. Cool introspection and optimism. Well done.

    I still wish, just a little bit, that this was a post about your joy of cycling…riding fast on a road bike or commuter, with the wind at your back…:-)
