Do the Math?

Thirty-one to fifty?

What the?

Only 31 days until I turn 50.  The big 5-0!

Woo – hoo!  Seriously.

While some dread 50, I can’t wait.

Why dread something that is inevitable?

This is a hard thing to do – to not dread the inevitable.

How?

Don’t know exactly.  The way I figure it, we all have to deal with the inevitable in our own unique and special way.

Our choices are fairly straight-forward.  Positive or negative.  Victor or victim.  Surrender or suffocation.

Look, I’m not an expert at this.  I just happen to be almost 50.  What this means is that I’ve seen a lot, but certainly not everything.

So take this content for what it’s worth.  Simply a personal opinion from a guy who’s seen both heaven and hell.

Carpe diem and best wishes for discernment.  jeff 🙂

Did I mention this before?

Did I mention I bought a MacBook last week?

Did I mention how much I love the challenge of learning a completely different way of using a laptop?

And did I mention I have an eight-year old?

All this means is that it’s a great time to be alive.

I walked to Niagara Falls late yesterday afternoon and watched, with a deep reverence for the power of the water, and an even deeper reverence for the power of the Creator.

If I didn’t mention any of this before, good.  If I did, never mind.

Carpe diem, jeff 🙂

Will today be the best day of your life?

It depends.

On what?

Many things probably.

I’m guessing if it’s gonna be my best day, I’ll have to really be “in the moment” and focus repeatedly on the multitude of blessings that are mostly invisible to the naked eye.

You up for the challenge?   If not you, who?  If not today, when?   Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Five blogs?

Five blogs.   Yes.   Five.  

Why five?

That’s where fate has led me. 

Crazy?   Maybe.   Maybe not.   Where has fate led you?

This is all so new.   Seriously.   The blogging has only been happening consistently since February 2009.

It’s exciting most of the time.  Scary some of the time.  Taxing some of the time.   And always, all of the time, a privilege.

Here’s a post from yesterday at jeff noel.org – it lists all five links, if you’re inclined to look.

Make today a day to “Do Something Great”, because if you don’t, who will?  Carpe diem,  jeff noel
