Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Just started reading Facebook updates, it’s a morning and evening routine to keep up with Family, Friends, co-workers. The very first two updates:
1. is grateful for this day!
2. I hate Mondays and getting up at 5:30am.
In our travels, and just plain old fashioned day-to-day living, aren’t we constantly reminded that our personal situation could be so much worse than it is?

Mondays have such a bad rap.
Why is that?
I can’t wait to get to work on Mondays.
Can you picture Nelson Mandela in prison for 27 years, wishing for a day when he COULD go to work?
Yeah, many of you hate your jobs.
Dwell on that and how do you think your day will go?
Find a different angle. Work hard at it if you have to.
Of course it won’t be easy, but at least you’re not in prision.
Right?

Ever heard these phrases?:
On a friend’s suggestion, I’ve simplified navigation between the five daily blogs.
It’s basic, it’s common sense, and just one more simple improvement.
It reminds me of mid life.

When do we pursue change?
When do we resist change?
Mostly, in our humanness, we resist it. We are basically weak, fearful creatures. And yet we know, instinctively, that change is the only constant.
If you want midlife peace, you must be willing to earn it. Earning it requires changing.
To read, “Changing Direction In Life”, by Dr Sheri Rosenthal, click here.
There is peace in our midlife journey, and peace in our realization that midlife change is good, even if it scares us to death.
Midlife heartbreak or midlife opportunity. Pretty simple. Two choices. You get to pick one.
If you and your spouse (and yes, want to acknowledge some readers will not be parents), worked hard all your life and played by the rules, and you gave birth to a child without eyes and never able to walk, which would you pick?
Mid Life heartache or mid life opportunity?
Well, there was a Family that had to make this choice. They were featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as well as numerous other media pieces, including a heartwarming You Tube Video feature, about 6 minutes long, available at the end of this post.
One of my “secrets” to unspeakable joy is the daily effort to read, listen, watch, experience, think, do and reflect on the countless blessings that surround my ordinary life.
You have all these blessings too. But in order to feel the Peace and Contentment that are the fruit of these blessings, you must become fully aware.
You must become willing to invest time everyday. Even if it’s only six minutes. Will today be another day to postpone your new beginning?
