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 🙂

My goal in life is to become…

Our Dog is our Son.   And, my goal in life is to become the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Think about it this way too:

Dogs are our link to paradise.  They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent.   To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring – it was Peace.”   — Milan Kundera

May the Peace that surpasses all understanding be with you today.   Life is hard.  Trust me, I know.  You know it too.  It’s hard for everyone in their own way.  All of us have the weight of the world on our shoulders.  And if we don’t currently, we either did or will soon.

Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Happy Easter

This is my fourth blog post today, so I’m taking a short cut.

Here’s the link to the third post.

Diversity

You’ll find it interesting, whether you believe in Easter or not.   And if you don’t find it interesting, I’m sorry.

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

Carpe diem

What does that mean, “carpe diem”?

Most people, myself included, think it means, “Seize the day“!

Here are some thoughts I just found on “seize the day”:

Every man dies.  Not every man really lives.  ~Braveheart

As you grow older, you’ll find the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do.  ~Zachary Scott

Dream as if you’ll live forever.  Live as if you’ll die today.  ~James Dean

I’m glad I have a website.  I put if off for a long time.  I was lazy, worried, busy, ignorant, etc.  Do you have a website?  Great if you do.  If you don’t, why not.  Live, before you die.  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂
