Hello

Life Goes Round And Round
Life Goes Round And Round

How challenging was it to keep in touch with people before the telephone was invented?  You know, back before electricity and the pony express.

Nearly impossible, right?  And for decades following the advent of electricity, the phone was attached by a cord to some contraption on a desk or a wall.

Yesterday, the phone in my pocket rang, so I walked outside and had a nice conversation with a college buddy, Skip.

Looking back to 24 hours ago, it hit me.  Time marches on.  People do amazing things, and we lose track.

He was very interested, and asked about my goals. And it made me reflect on what they actually are.  It’s easy to get distracted from the most important goals in our life.

Terribly easy.

Tomorrow would be a great day to remind everyone, including myself, why I started Mid Life Celebration.

People forget.

A Sad Truth

Knowing Isn't Enough
Knowing Isn't Enough

“To know is to do.

To know and not do, is to not yet know.” – Dennis F.

Common sense at midlife should come easy.

And it usually does.

However, most people don’t practice common sense.

So in reality, they really don’t have any.

Older Women Need This?

Do you scan headlines for interesting, funny or important news?  I do.

Yesterday, while scanning my Earthlink homepage, saw an article that caught my attention.  Was on the run and didn’t have time to read it, but wanted to save it, because these headlines constantly change.

The article, Older Women Need One-Hour Workouts To Fend Off Flab, provided a button to post to Facebook, but not Twitter.

I sent it to Facebook to “save” it, to read later

Apparently, it caused a minor stir amongst some midlife folks.

It was no consolation when I suggested that older men have the same challenge.

Not sure about you, but my days are a flurry of activity.  And I am fully aware that this busy pace can lead to many negative consequences.

And even in knowing and having awareness, it is still difficult to stop.
