Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
“We should all do what in the long run gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry”. — E. B. White
Or being a High School Basketball Team Manager:
If you had your life to live over, what would you change?
Well, you can’t live it over so it’s time to make a choice. If you had a “second chance” starting today, what would you change?

“I think knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do”. — Lucille Ball
Well then, this is gonna be a tough day.
Why?
Because I seem to have a deficiency. It’s called doing too much.
Life is good, but life is hard. Rest is good, but rest is hard.
The time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining. I’m working really hard right now, while the sky is blue and clear.
Ya with me?

“There is only one success – to be able to spend life in your own way”. — Christopher Morley
Agree to disagree? Good. Because I’m going to do both here.
Sure, it’d be great to do whatever it is you want to do, when you want to do it. And yet, it sounds a bit self-centered to my ear.
What abut sacrifice and service to others less fortunate? Ask Mother Teresa her opinion on Christopher Morley’s quote. Ask Jesus, or Abe Lincoln, or Martin Luther King.
Ask a mother, a father, a school teacher, a doctor or a nurse. Ask a street sweeper, or a cook.
We all should consider where we stand on this issue. And if we like our answer, awesome. If we don’t…..

Hot & naked? Neither.
Hot and bothered maybe, but not hot and naked. There’s a temptation to use sexual innuendos to sell things.
It’s pervasive. So much so that this blog post title actually caused a reaction that was opposite of it’s purpose.
My purpose is simply to vent a little about how passively lives are lived. And it almost feels, to me, like people have given up the will to work hard.
Hard work. It’s the only way, at any age.
While the title was read with the wrong purpose, it was written with the right intent.
If you have the will but are finding the way difficult, Mid Life Celebration’s intent is to reach as many people fitting this description as possible.

“Outside a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it’s too dark to read”. — Groucho Marx
I read every day. Currently reading Seth Godin’s Purple Cow.
It’s a book about what it takes to be remarkable. If you saw a herd of cows in a big field and one of them was purple, that would be remarkable. It’s a business book.
And yet, I can’t help but correlate it to life, especially mid life.
There’s a temptation, in mid life, to think that we are past prime and there’s no point to reinventing ourselves.
Bullcrap.
