Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Mid Life Observations?
Yes.
“You can observe a lot by watching”. — Yogi Berra
Profoundly simple and simply profound, are the keys to success in life, particularly at mid life.
Today, I’m going to try to not be so busy that I can’t appreciate the little things. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Hatred at Mid Life?
“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not”. — Andre Gide
I believe this mid life quote to be true, but struggle sometimes to make it real.
Why?
Because it takes courage. Having courage can make you unpopular and lonely.
Who wants that at mid life?
Yet courage, really, is one of the few things in mid-life that makes us whole.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Anger at Mid Life?
Probably.
There’s a lot we have to be angry about at mid life.
Yet, may I humbly submit this midlife quote for your consideration?
“Anyone who angers you, conquers you”. — Sister Kenny
Sometimes, it takes every fiber in my body and soul not to get angry. And like other lessons I’ve learned through 50 years of life, staying focused and disciplined is always better and more productive than not.
Good luck. Stay with it. Don’t give up. Forgive yourself and keep trying.
There’s a Chinese proverb that says something to this effect:
“Fall down seven times, get up eight”.
Make it a GREAT day. Carpe diem. jeff noel 🙂
“Profanity is the effort of a feeble mind to express itself forcefully”. — Unknown
Sorry if this makes you mad as heck.
I used to “swear like a sailor”.
Now, not so much.
Self-control isn’t an idea to dream about at Mid Life, it’s a habit we can, and should, cultivate at Midlife.
It’s entirely up to each one of us, isn’t it.
At least that’s what the %$#k^ I think.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
“He gives little who gives with a frown; he gives much who gives with a smile”. — The Talmud
Make it a GREAT Saturday.
