Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Of course, Churches provide a great sanctuary for begging. But Baby Boomers with enough courage desperation know full well that begging can happen anywhere, anytime. That ought to comfort us. The excuse of finding the time and place is washed away.
Go. Begin.

Was I having a midlife crisis moment a few days ago while sitting in the pew at Church, listening to our inspiring Priest?
Nope. It was a midlife celebration moment. It filled me with joy and went something like this:
Lately, I’ve been questioning the percentage of time I write about serious and deep stuff on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
That’s when the revelation came.
My ability to think deeply and profoundly is either innate or highly developed. My ability to laugh is similar. But reading my entries, you’d think I was just a serious person only.
And then something else happened. The realization that I can turn on a dime and go completely comical.
And then this thought. How many can turn on a dime and go deep and profound?
Finally, the question of is one better than the other? No. It’s not about better. It’s about balance.
And, it’s about preparation. Mid Life is something that can be planned for and joyful.
Being serious, profound and deep, is a world-class way to be ready for mid life.
“What’s past is prologue.” – Shakespeare
What’s past is simply what got us to where we are today. I’m thankful for that.
What’s here and now, is what will be past tomorrow. I’m thankful for that too.
What lies in the future is the choice we get to make. Our story is being written one day, one moment at a time.
To be or not to be, I mean, to be thankful or not to be thankful, that is the question.
And starting tomorrow, December’s question is, “Am I joyful and do I spread joy?”
What a GREAT day to be alive!
Hey, thanks for reading Mid Life Celebration. Your time is very important to you.
Heck, mine is too.
And I devote a fair piece of it to Mid Life Celebration.
Why?
Because it makes me feel like I’m helping some of you mid-life folks find a home where you can come to for a gentle push or pull.
Finding people who care is a challenge. Sometimes, that’s all that’s missing. We just need someone to tell us not to give up. Someone to tell us there is work to be done and we ought to do our fair share.
Someone to remind us that although we may feel like in this world, we are just one person, to another person, we may just be the world to them.
We all know what should be done. But the hard part is actually doing it.
I’ve always liked people who pushed me to be a better person.
Hope you like those kinds of people too. There aren’t too many of them, but they’re out there.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day!
What a joy it must be to have the honor, and blessing, to be called Mother, Mom, or my personal favorite, Mommy!
And if you’re a Mom at Mid Life, hope you and yours have a great Mid Life Celebration today.
A mid-life quote, just to sprinkle a little mid life insight on your thoughts today:
“The real compensation of a right action is inherent in having performed it“. — Seneca
Make it a GREAT mid life celebration for the special Mothers, Grand Mothers, and Great Grand Mothers, in your life. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
