Home for Christmas?

Home for Christmas after really long absence?

Yes.

If and when Christmas is more than December 25, yes.

And Christmas is always more than Dec. 25.

Is Christmas April 6?

How can it not be?

Merry Christmas, hope Spring 2015 is treating you better than you deserve.

When habits are changed, new life is born

Happy Autumnal Equinox!

Not the salutation we’d expect on January 1, 2015.

Feeling on fire with anticipation today?

That’s the magic of challenging the way we’ve always done things.

Writing this on September 23, 2014, it’s so easy to taste the future yet savor the current moment and the days ahead.

Like double dipping.

Last January 1st, as an experiment in humility, began omitting key words:

I, my, me, or mine.

A major life transition is something we wait for all our lives.

When habits are changed, new life is born

But if we don’t find creative, purposeful ways to change, guess what happens?

Nothing.

A year from now we’ll wish we had started something today.

Living in two places is an extraordinarily different experience

Clock on the wall

 

(photo: From last night in our Church’s PREP Class office. Who has time to read five daily blogs about balance?)

Heading to Texas on a business trip in an hour and taking our son (14). Have promised to do this on a regular basis and but it has never happened.

Why?

Busy.

Distracted.

But not too busy or too distracted to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts about life’s big choices.

And yes, even though this is being written on September 17, am fully aware that yesterday was Christmas day (when this goes live on Dec 26).

To live in two places (now and the future) is an extraordinarily different experience than just living in one.

Another experiment the final week in 2014…

The biggest lesson we teach others is our daily routine

Basketball backboard in American Airlines Arena
We miss 100% of the shots we don’t take. And it’s a mystery why we don’t take more shots.

 

The biggest lesson we teach others is simply the daily routine we lead.

Facebook is filled with inspirational quotes.

Our lives should be a reflection of our aspirations. No?

And we could even go as far as saying it’s littered with inspiration.

And a simple question screams to be asked:

What are we actually doing as a result of reading this daily inspiration to change ourselves?

So much aspiration.

So few results.

Why?

Mid Life Rear View Mirror

Get A Grip & Be Prepared
Get A Grip & Be Prepared

Ever wonder how you’ll handle all of the challenges you face today?

And let’s suppose we actually do get a handle on our overwhelming challenges, then what?

What are the odds that we’ll be overwhelmed again soon?

Maybe I should go back to drinking everyday.  After a few drinks, we are medicated enough to stop worrying about today – it can wait until tomorrow.  That’s a nice relief – no more worry today.

But it mostly can’t wait.  If we do wait, more stuff is added to our “pile”.

Then we reach for our “midlife medication”.

Why we fail to look in the rear view mirror and see what is coming is beyond me.

Well, it used to be beyond me. Now, it’s staring me in the face. Every day.

It’s a ton of work, but at least I’m being honest with myself.

Talk about mid-life peace of mind.

Well, not talk. Do.
