Daily inspiration

Good morning Coast to Coast Team: You must be able to see the coast by now or at least smell the fresh sea air. I am on my way down to join the crew with my children and we are so excited and can't wait to meet the team. I can not wait to actually be able to ride with them. I have been trying to train hard in the spin classes, which hardly compares to the amount of time they are spending on their bikes, but I will give it a try. The thought for today is called " A Minute". ( here is hoping a minute is how far behind I will be from these guys).

Two or three minutes-two or three hours
What do they mean in this life of ours?
Not very much if but counted as time,
But minutes of gold and hours sublime.
If we will make use of them once and a while,
To make someone happy, or make someone smile.
A minute may dry a little lads' tears:
An hour may sweep aside trouble of years:
Minutes of my time may bring to an end
Hopelessness, somewhere, and give me a friend!
