I could be wrong, but adults, particularly primary care givers, shape a child’s attitude more than anyone else. And along the way, while we are showing and involving them in life, we might miss the opportunity to explain “why” certain things are important, taking the “why” for granted.

I did not do that Saturday. While we didn’t get to speak directly with Teresa, we did get to speak with her husband and her college freshman son. I told our son (10), “We’ll learn about politics together”.

Epcot

How was your Labor Day? Spent the day with Family at Disney World’s Epcot. Our timing was impeccable, never waiting more than 10 minutes for anything.

Well, I take that back. Our drive to Epcot was 10 minutes. It’s a perk living next door to Disney World.

Mid Life Celebration. Real life, in real time. Four more blogs to write and then time for a run.

Final Leg of Long Journey

Somewhere past the Georgia – Florida border, at 32K feet on a Delta flight, less than an hour from Orlando and home.

I was so crazy tired this morning while sitting at the Helsinki airport, it was challenging to stay awake to type, let alone think clearly.

Got a few hours sleep on the Copenhagen to Atlanta leg – a nine hour flight.  Saw icebergs for the first time ever, as well as seeing Iceland for the first time.

The point to be made below in this morning’s unfinished post:

Everyone goes through some sort of mid-life feeling. The length, depth, theme, intensity, and outcomes are unique and individual.

It was refreshing, if I can use that term loosely, to hear that my new Finnish friends knew exactly what I was talking about when I described Mid Life Celebration.

Chalk up another key learning to this week’s experiences:

“It’s a Small World After All”. — Walt Disney

PS. And the point is that mid life, if we refocus, helps us see things we know to be true, but got too busy with life to remember.  Like our health.  Like what Walt Disney said…
