Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Is there such a thing as a midlife keener? Here’s what Google revealed from ‘keener’:
CANADIAN (informal)
– a person who is extremely eager, zealous, or enthusiastic.
– “keeners who spent most of high school buried in homework”
Maybe.
It’s a really simple concept.
Midlife keeners spend most of their second half focused on thriving versus surviving.

Mid Life Celebration is the opposite of midlife crisis.
Every situation, properly perceived, is an opportunity. No?
We are blessed with the opportunity to have our lives come crumbling apart. In layman’s terms, life’s wakeup call.
Three simple, prioritized steps.
Maybe their simplicity neutralizes or hinders our belief in the process:
reThink – rePrioritize – reCommit
Oh, one more thing, simple doesn’t mean easy. It only means simple.
We know this.

Midlife crisis is spending our life chasing our dreams and finally getting there, more or less.

Deep breath. Exhale… Remember all those things we promised ourselves when we were younger?
We should do them. But when?
Our biggest midlife challenge isn’t desire.
It’s time.
Finding time to… Pause.
Time to simply breath in and, maybe, actually, to take back…
Take back a little time to do something for ourselves that’s long overdue.
To… well… quite literally…
rethink • reprioritize • recommit
To re-shuffle our deck so to speak.
