Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Why be happy in midlife?
Because, quite simply, it’s insanely good for our health.
And it teaches the younger folk following behind us that it’s a great life strategy.
And the path to happiness is paved with gratitude.

Is there an echo in here?

In our exhaustion from the daily grind, an opportunity presents itself everyday. Except it’s probably invisible to most of us. Maybe the decently self-aware person doesn’t miss it. Who knows for sure?
If no one is immune from life’s demands, how do some seem to make the obvious first choice?
Survive or thrive.
Pick.
All are eligible to thrive.
All of us?
It would certainly seem so.
We should never judge others on their perceived luck or privilege. This would certainly start looking like an excuse. Denial. We don’t need any more of that in our life.
But it sure beats trying to do the challenging work of learning how to thrive despite the hell we all go through.

Do we show up everyday with compelling questions?
Great questions that challenge authority (our own as well as other’s) and status quo.
Or does the way life has a habit of beating us down, making us fearful of looking stupid and out of place…
… does that encourage us to put our heads down and slog through another long day?
Everyday.
We all need someone to tell us we have a choice each day.
And that our choice is valid, and admirable, and worth overcoming hesitation (fear).
We need someone to encourage us, convince us, and cheer for us.
There are those among us who’ve done this and they can carry the torch until we learn to carry it ourselves.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it!

The thing about life is that it is constantly moving.
Our choices make us.
And even when we choose to not decide, we still have made a choice.
Let our consciousness be our guide.
