Now I Get It

Always Be Prepared For "Bad" News
Always Be Prepared For "Bad" News

Was being helped the other day by someone who knows what I do (The Blog Whisperer) and she told me she finally gets it.

She shared that her Dad (71) was just diagnosed with cancer.

No warning signs.

Obviously, everyone hopes his cancer can be beaten, but this early in the game, no one can say for sure.

Suddenly, Living, before you die, takes on a whole new, and precious meaning.

Live, before you die. Now do you get it?

Will You Rejoice Today?

Looking Forward To Monday!!
Looking Forward To Monday!!

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?

Tomorrow's A Big Day

Two quick items:

1. Over at jungle jeff the past few days, our Marketing Director has posted some intriguing results from this past quarter. It’s worth a look, mostly because the numbers sound inflated.

2. Guest Blogger Lorie Sheffer has written another insightful post for your mental and psychological stimulation. It’ll post tomorrow morning.

Thank you for being part of this Mid Life Celebration tribe.

Oh, and one more thing. We’re getting a puppy tomorrow.  🙂

What Makes You Feel Old?

51 Does Not Feel Old
51 Does Not Feel Old

Mid Life – like birth, childhood, adolescence, leaving home, getting married, having kids, empty nest, retirement, death – midlife fits in there as one of life’s major milestone categories.

For the sake of argument, of course, not everyone gets married or has kids, but it is the most common way to continue our species.

In life’s stages, when and where did you start to feel old?

For me, it was four major things:

  1. Getting AARP welcome letter in 2009 (age 50)
  2. A dangerous cholesterol report in 1999 (40)
  3. Identifying our legitimate disability in 1996 (37)
  4. Buying the first pair of reading glasses 1995
