Joyful Anticipation

Do you look forward to each new day?

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”.

Life Is Short Play Hard

Mid Life words are helpful. So are mid life phrases:

Just do it
Carpe diem
Life is short, play hard

Life can change in an instant. This One-Take-You Tube video I shot the other day while leaving from my podiatrist illustrates this perfectly.

Life is short, play hard. Carpe diem. Just do it.

And expect Joy to follow.

Mid Life Words

Are you getting this? Mid Life Crisis versus Mid Life Celebration.

These are simply mid life words, but the difference between the two sets of words is as profound as the difference here:

Hate and Love
War and Peace
Terrorist and Missionary
Dishonest and Honest
Criminal and Saint
Death and Life
Apathy and Passion
Crisis and Celebration

Have I told you lately how much joy it brings to know there are others out there who benefit as much from Mid Life Celebration as I do?

Three days away from New Year’s Eve. Got big plans for 2010?

Wisdom Confidence Courage Joy

A Word Is Worth A Thousand Pictures

Do you have words that fill you with Joy? Words that inspire you? Words that instantly create positive images in your mind?

Four favorites are in the Mid Life Celebration blog post title here – wisdom, confidence, courage, joy.

Do those do anything for you? How about these:

Faith, Hope, Love
Peace, Harmony, Balance
Creativity, Innovation, Change
Laughter, Humor, Bliss
Hunger, Desire, Passion
Determination, Tenacity
Vision, Mission, Brand
Social Media, Blogs, Facebook
Mind, Body, Spirit, Money

Words. So many good ones. So much meaning.

Mid Life Crisis and Mid Life Celebration. Ya with me?

Did You Unwrap Your Gift?

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.
