The trademark short and pithy posts sometimes seem anything but since retiring from Disney five months ago. The posts aren’t long and drawn out, but they are not two to four sentences either.
This too shall pass.

Today marks the beginning of the seventh year.
Hard to believe what began on April Fools Day 2009 as a 100-day, self imposed, kick-your-butt writer’s bootcamp has blossomed into something remarkably different.
Honestly didn’t think it would last 100 days.
Maybe it was the sheer magnitude of the impossibility that allowed writing five daily, differently-themed blogs to succeed.
If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reach high enough.

To all of you who read Mid Life Celebration’s blogs, thank you.
You may or may not know the five-a-day blogging began in 2009 as a creative way to leave a trail for our son (now 12).
He’ll be 13 in three weeks – a teenager.
How’d that happen? 🙂
Anyway, after four+ years and 8k+ posts, I’m feeling (have been for a year) something coming on. Unable to clearly articulate it yet.
Meanwhile, just know that your presence is and has always been, a blessing.
Thank you.

Those crazy Wright brothers…
Dude, remember, history clearly shows that people who are ahead of their time, generally speaking and almost without exception, have a hard time not offending people.
And also remember, there is no goal to offend. Quite the opposite actually. The goal is to ignite and inspire people to see what you have been privileged to see.
Not until years, decades, or even longer in some cases, did the visionary ideas become acceptable, and ultimately, business as usual.
