Summer Vacation & Midlife

Let The Vacation Commence

Photo from yesterday, the first day of our summer vacation at Disney World. There is something magical about midlife.

There are certain privileges one gets glimpses of from spending a lifetime doing good and decent work.

Have you ever been one of the first Guests inside the Magic Kingdom?

Mid Life Crisis?

It's An Unusual (Good) Morning
It's An Unusual (Good) Morning

Good Thursday morning everyone. Sitting here in the office with a neighbor friend who’s interested in social media. We’ve been talking for an hour now, and it’s very different for me to begin the daily writing process with “an audience”.

You may be asking, “So?”

So, all this means is that it feels really good to find a unique way to illustrate the whole concept of waking up and writing five blogs each morning. I mean, there’s a Pastor here validating this. It’s simply an unexpected opportunity to illustrate the way this blog is different from the other 80-million blogs.

Nothing phony here. Real life in real time.

As you think about your challenges at whatever life-stage you’re in, do you like your level of motivation, or do you feel like giving up? It’s your choice. Always has been, always will be.

So Incredibly Thankful

The harder, and longer, you work, the luckier you get. You’ve heard this saying, right? But do you believe it?

I have some of the coolest friends in the world. One of them is Lorie Sheffer who writes here on Sundays. She sent me this link to a radical, and important piece of contemporary art – it attempts to start the dialogue to cure our materialistic blues.

Another cool friend is going to premier as a Mid Life Celebration Guest Blogger here. He’s committed to helping me us lighten up a bit. He’s nutty and brilliant, and stealthily funny.

He could be here tomorrow or the next.
