One more run in the daylight hours.
One more swim outdoors.
One more ride before darkness descends too early.
One more hike before the trails are impassable.
One more weekend without a mile long to-do list.
One more reason to get outside.
Let’s all get out while the getting’s good.

Share your one more for fall in the comments section!

Learning Curve Moments

When’s the last time you tried something for the first time?

Earlier this year, I found myself wondering if, amidst the busyness of job, family, community and commitments, I had let my learning muscles go a little soft.  Perhaps I’d gotten too good at being pretty good, too comfortable in my well-worn competence.   But can I actually jump back onto the steep part of the learning curve?  Now, I think, is a good time to find out.  Will you join me?  Share your learning curve moments in the comments section below.
