iNotice a lot of things.

And write about how they help or hinder us. Five daily blogs. Each one a different theme. Each one a critical component to balance.

Like the fact that we race to get started in the morning. We race to get to work. We race to do our work. Then we race home to do the evening routine.

We plan on slowing down and rearranging our priorities at some point.

We forget that we are in charge and need to create the “some point”.

Someday is not a day of the week, nor a future date on our calendar. Someday is a lie.

But we are too busy to notice.

It’s a leap of faith that personal responsibility will thrive

Are you getting biannual checkups? Doubtful. Midlifer’s are lucky to make a single annual physical a priority, let alone two.

Why?

Because we’re busy. Really, really busy.

And in our busy-ness we are often slapped in the face with a much needed reminder.

Like an hour ago.

During our 14 year old’s bi-annual Gastroenterology checkup.

The teen is doing well at self managing his daily medicine. Dr. Erhart reminded all three (Cheryl, Chapin, me) of us that unchecked inflammation increases the odds of colon cancer 20-40 times normal.

Begging asking for donations is one worn-out approach traditional. Offering a compelling and unique product the world will gladly pay good money for is another.

Mid Life Celebration was founded on the second premise – to raise money until a cure is found for Crohn’sand Ulcerative Colitis.

Do something great

The feeling we are looking for is sustainable, not temporary.

 

Life is not about pleasure, it’s about paying attention. Weirdly enough, paying attention is what brings sustainable pleasure.

Do something great. Mend an important relationship before it’s too late, help raise money to find a cure for something incurable, or, do something in between.

It doesn’t matter what you do. Not sure what to do? For starters, pay attention.

And don’t blame the Universe for making you rich with peace and contentment.

Life contains many discrepancies.

 

What lights your fire every single day?

Where do we find our easy button for lighting our daily fire?

Here at this blog?

Or do you navigate all five daily blogs?

Mid Life Celebration is the easy button for brave people who want to have an indelibly positive impact in the world.

Mid Life Celebration is the Grateful Dead of blogging. The band never became mainstream. Yet the people who “got the Dead’s music” embraced it so much that they were labeled Deadheads.

Your life is like that too. Many don’t “get you”.

Live like you mean it.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Thanks for being here, and for being a light in your corner of the world.
