1 Reason We Are What We Are
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” – Annie Dillard
This, of course, is what leads us to a midlife crisis in the first place.
We chase crazy dreams and sacrifice many things to get them. Then we get them, and we realize the fulfillment we sought was not contained in our original plan. We are bankrupt in many ways.
In life, we get one, honest-to-goodness second chance to rethink, reprioritize and recommit – our midlife celebration!
By now we all realize that nothing worthwhile is easy.
Which is exactly why I need to, (get to), run this morning. When was the last time you exercised?
Epcot
How was your Labor Day? Spent the day with Family at Disney World’s Epcot. Our timing was impeccable, never waiting more than 10 minutes for anything.
Well, I take that back. Our drive to Epcot was 10 minutes. It’s a perk living next door to Disney World.
Mid Life Celebration. Real life, in real time. Four more blogs to write and then time for a run.
Labor Day 1882
Labor Day was first celebrated in 1882 and two years later became a National Holiday. It unofficially marks the end of Summer and the beginning of football season.
It is also a great time to relax and spend time with Family and friends. Cheryl’s cousin, Mike, me and Cooper enjoyed floating in the pool yesterday, listening to Jimmy Buffett.
What music will you use today to celebrate?
When the sun comes up, Mike and I are going for another run.
Happiness Is…
Lorie Sheffer’s post today offers a thought provoking challenge. It gets us thinking, and that is one of the reasons we tune in every Sunday. Take it away Lorie:
“Happiness = spending time with people who love you for who you are instead of just accepting you for who you are.”
I have a rather eclectic mix of friends, to say the least. One of my favorites wrote this as her Facebook status update. I am so fortunate to have amazing people in my life who, according to some, are eccentric or odd or different. Which is the reason I love them in the first place. They dare to be themselves no matter what.
Do you love your friends or family in spite of things about them you consider to be different or odd or out of the norm, or because of it? How about the reasons people choose to spend time with you? Are you your real, authentic self, or are you trying to fit the mold that society expects and readily accepts?
Lorie gives us a good paradox to work on this week. Did you know there are actually people who dislike healthy, active friends. And there are people who dislike those who are sedentary.
