A NEW YOU - or SLIPPING INTO THAT COMFORTABLE SHOE?

Checking in -- Simply.

Perhaps, now with gas prices slipping, your new practice of slowing down, enjoying your ride, relaxing, etc. may be eroding.

It may be similar to any new process or change in paradigm that has been attempted before. What I have noticed with change, is that sometimes, the known, the comfortable seems larger and safer, more inviting. Yet, when I have taken a new road, even if narrow and a bit bumpy, the view at the end has been spectacular.

Again -- it's a thought. It also is hilarious to me that people are discussing lower gas prices when they are tipping below $4.00 a gallon U.S. Yet, that is an obvious $$ saving, combine that with less trips to the gas station - and, simply bank it. Like with an old Christmas Club account, create a new sofa, or vacation, or, or or account.

I'm off adventuring today. The Butterfly Conservatory in Canada and to (never been for me) Niagara-On-The-Lake. The sun is shining.

Squeeze joy - it is a option........

Namaste

Hey there Susan it's Roy and I'm back. Sorry it's taken some time to get back to you. I have been busy working and out of town.

So here it is after talking to some people I work with. We came up with that over the course of a year you can save 50 - $100 which is a nice chunk just by going slow by decreasing your speed by 5 mph.

Your looking good and glad to read your next post.

Looking forward to more from you.

Great job

Please extend a fantastic job and the person should do this for a living or on the side that's how great the pictures have been.
