Just Another Day

Celebrate Fall
Celebrate Fall

Today is just another day on the calendar – September 22, 2010. It is also the first day of Fall. So what? Exactly the point. We go through our lives, and day by day, we find distractions that hide life’s simple pleasures.

We have come to know the true meaning of life when we learn to enjoy the passing of time. Noticing this seasonal change is more challenging in Central Florida. Leaves won’t start to change for 2-3 more months.

So I’ve been teaching our son (10) that we celebrate Fall’s arrival the first day the temperature starts with a six. We haven’t seen 69 degrees since April. There is definitely a difference.

It will be here soon. Will anyone notice?

Do you find it intriguing that as we get older we spend less and less time, maybe even no time, on some of the most basic, fundamental essentials?

Like exercise.

Like art.

Like experimentation.

Last night, returning from a three-day trip, we had Cooper in our front yard. Four children in the yard across the street came running over.

Walking would have only cost them 10-15 seconds more.

Today’s post at Lane 8 should only take 10-15 seconds to read.

Will You Rejoice Today?

Looking Forward To Monday!!
Looking Forward To Monday!!

Mondays have such a bad rap.

Why is that?

I can’t wait to get to work on Mondays.

Can you picture Nelson Mandela in prison for 27 years, wishing for a day when he COULD go to work?

Yeah, many of you hate your jobs.

Dwell on that and how do you think your day will go?

Find a different angle. Work hard at it if you have to.

Of course it won’t be easy, but at least you’re not in prision.

Right?

Tomorrow's A Big Day

Two quick items:

1. Over at jungle jeff the past few days, our Marketing Director has posted some intriguing results from this past quarter. It’s worth a look, mostly because the numbers sound inflated.

2. Guest Blogger Lorie Sheffer has written another insightful post for your mental and psychological stimulation. It’ll post tomorrow morning.

Thank you for being part of this Mid Life Celebration tribe.

Oh, and one more thing. We’re getting a puppy tomorrow.  🙂
