People say fear defeats more people than anything else. Actually, tomorrow is the enemy.
Think about this for a second…
Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.
And so it goes.

Three little choices
(photo: From Senior Living Apartment watching Rose Bowl Parade 2015)
The second most magnificent day in our lives is ours to discover.
Intentionality is a choice.
Reacting is a choice.
Auto pilot is a choice.

Mid Life Celebration blog posts are fuel
(photo: Early morning view from Iowa City Sheraton hotel room.)
Is inspiration fuel?
Doing what we say we’re gonna do is fuel. And a million other things are fuel as well.
Mid Life Celebration blog posts are fuel to keep your daily “fire for life” lit.
Are we throwing twigs and leaves on our fire or solid oak logs?
We’re in charge of these choices.

Then again, it’s not often
(photo: one of the final photos from Glacier National Park… July 25, 2014… 4pm)
It’s not often we get to reflect back on the past 48 hours of our life. Not because it’s difficult, mostly because we silently tell ourselves there wasn’t much worth recounting.
Same old, same old.
Then again, there are times when those 48 hours offer something remarkable – if only we pause and reflect.

As Boomers we’ve had copious opportunities to do things that stiffen our spine
(photo: The last full day on Sanibel Island, July 18, 2014)
As Boomers we’ve had copious opportunities to do things that stiffen our spine. You know, the types of things that we generally say, “Later. I’ll do it later.”
To go one step farther, these are the types of things we’d even describe as inspiring or life fulfilling.
Not like visiting Paris (because we’ve been telling ourselves for 40 years we’d go there some day) inspiring.
This is on a much smaller scale.
More like, “Yeah, this would take some serious effort and commitment, but why the heck not?”
The kind of thing that we sort of dream up as a crazy idea and a year later, we say, “It’s now or never.”
In the course of several hours today (this post is ‘late’ at 4pm), airfare, rental car, and lodging booked for a father and son return to ‘dad’s favorite place in the whole world’ and the son’s favorite spot from last summer’s grand vacation.
The math: just back from a week of traditional summer beach vacation and leaving in three days for the Crown of The Continent for a quick trip for lunch.
Boomer’s, let’s do more of this.
