Happy New Year’s Eve, the biggest drinking day of the year, in the entire world.
What will your New Year’s (or whatever date you use) Resolution be for 2010?
How did you do with the one(s) you made in 2009?
If you are curious enough or smart enough to pay attention, you can learn a lot from what I share. But like anything where excellence is a goal, the focus has to be constant.
Not everyone can keep up. That’s just the law of nature. There’s only a certain type that has that focus and discipline. What type are you?
Looking back to my 2009 resolution to start an Internet-based business, here are some numbers, mostly for posterity (and certainly not to boast):
I mean, with a joyful anticipation? Not an awful dread.
This can be challenging to say the least. You have to suspect that some readers may not believe I have much experience with Hell, with challenges, problems, obstacles, fear, failure, struggle, grief, agony, hopelessness, strife, worry, doubt.
Do all of you have a ton of experience with these things? Okay then, I rest my case. We all do. No one is immune.
Then why am I so optimistic and “joyful”?
Great question. Some people think I’m crazy. A weirdo. Or, worse, a fake.
It’s taken like 50 years, but, I’m totally cool with it all. Finally.
One of the secrets to being joyful, is so simple, you’re not going to believe it. And it brings great joy to tell you that tomorrow, I’ll reveal January’s “value”.
Christmas is filled with Joy. Do you exchange gifts this time of year? How about for birthdays?
There are many who think gifts are only physical items, usually bought, but sometime handmade, items.
The real gift at mid life is a cumulative book of wisdom. People at mid life have varying degrees of self-confidence in the value of their “wisdom book”.
All mid life adults have something to offer. And most of us have a unique chapter we could add to Life’s Wisdom Book.
Take for example, all these confident, famous people – click here to be inspired and to perhaps grow a bit more confident in your own mid life wisdom.
“….that’s fit to give a King, pa-rump-a-bum-bum….”
While thinking about what to write on a day like today, it’s incredibly humbling, and immensely joyful and glorifying to know that “I got nothin” on a day like today.
Ever dreamed of being a writer, but haven’t “published” anything yet?
Are you an experienced writer and want to expand your reach, relevance and impact?
If you’d like to be a Guest blogger at any of the five-a-day blogs I write, please think about it over the holidays.
Most of you saw this coming, and 2010 promises to be the best year ever. How could it not be?
So, seriously, think about it.
I’ll never embarrass you or make you feel uncomfortable. Not intentionally anyway. I may embarrass myself occasionally, but that’s part of taking risks.
Beyond The Gray posted an interveiw with me last week. What joy! How cool is that? Pretty cool.

Few things are more joyful than doing something positive for others. This is simply a starting point. Expect more of these as time marches on and don’t be surprised if I ask you to be a Guest Blogger.
Seriously. It could happen. Will you be ready? Do you have something important or funny (or both) to say?
I guarantee you do. No, seriously. You have talents and gifts that no one else has. And if you’ve never realized this before, may I humbly ask you to give some consideration to this thought? Carpe diem.
What brings people Joy? And why do people try to bring joy to others? Also, what is it about joy that makes us feel good, whether we give joy or receive joy?
It really doesn’t matter does it?
I mean, giving, or receiving, joy always makes us feel good. I love that about joy. Who doesn’t, right?
Yesterday you heard that Mid Life Celebration isn’t selling anything that costs money, and that Mid Life Celebration is one of five daily blogs written by jeff noel (hello), from Orlando, Florida.
Please, make no mistake, eventually there will be an effort to make money – a lot of money – to give away to people.
And also, please make no mistake, Mid Life Celebration is dedicated to making the world a better place, never resting in an effort to sell hope and inspiration.
So I Googled five-a-day bloggers and got 367,000,000 search results, but nothing on the first page described anyone who actually writes five daily blogs.
Okay, no problem, let’s narrow the search, so I typed – “five-a-day bloggers” – using quotation marks to focus the search.
When was the last time you Googled anything and got only one result?
If you are new to Mid Life Celebration, welcome. Hope you find this (and the other four daily blogs) a refreshing visit in a cyber-world that is overcrowded with people trying to sell us stuff.
None of the five-a-day blogs I write are selling anything. Maybe hope and inspiration. But nothing that costs money.
