The world is a different place

Yes, the world is a different place when you are out touring on a bike. The first few days of 'getting in shape' were deadly. I couldn't think about much except breathing, pumping the peddles, and staying upright. Once you get into the groove - it's a pleasant change; time to think and time to see the world from a different perspective. Gotta tell ya... everything - buildings, homes, gardens, and streets look different when you are on your bike instead of in your car. Besides that, you can see places you have not seen before. (Especially if you take a wrong turn and get lost in a maze of cul de sacs, and unknown roads. ) What I really thought about was this; if we look at what we do, and what our organizations do from a different perspective - how would that change our thinking, our view of the issues, and our problem solving? I think it would change a lot. From my bike ride I learned that there are some gardens and lawns that are even worse off than mine. Made me feel better. (I learned other things too. I will keep you posted.) Maybe we should change our views about what we do and how we do it when we are tackling the plans, the budgets, the problems, the time management. It just might make a difference.
