What are two keys to having an awesome summer?
Remember what I said yesterday? Let’s do this thing.

Summer was, hands down, my favorite season while growing up in south central Pennsylvania. Winters, my least favorite. Not a fan of cold or grey (skies). As events in our lives unfold, we discover things about ourselves that we may not have known, for decades. How is that possible? Easy. We slowly stop exploring.
I’m proposing, if only to myself, that the Summer of 2012 becomes our greatest Summer ever.

PS. Finally figured out I’m solar powered – palm trees and sunshine make me smile.
That’s what it feels like right now, a writer’s vacation. The intent as noble as ever. More so even. The process to get it done? Discovering it one new day at a time. I’m lovin’ it!
(reminder: please don’t let Mid Life Celebration’s blogs and their likeness of a one-way conversation keep you from missing the point…in this post, for example, jeff noel is really saying, “What’s your important thing you’re experimenting with? Are you loving it?”)

It's Who You Know
Heard this phrase the other night, probably on the TV as I was walking though a room, and I wrote it down.
“The art of compromise.”
We can take guesses as to what this means, or we can simply make up our own meaning. That’s what I did, and came up with five different ways:
The comment’s intent targeted the Senators power to say “no” to President Obama – relationships and the passing of President Obama’s Health Care Bill.
Some Senators held their vote until they got a really good deal for their state. This had people debating it’s fairness, and the Senator’s enormous power to say, “No.”
At the end of the day, it’s really about relationships and who you know.
Or maybe, just maybe, it’s about who you no.
Okay, so I made that up. But you know there are some people who actually hate vacation, because vacation takes them away from their medicine.
Huh? Yes, their medicine. As a workaholic myself, from a long line of workaholics, being busy and then suddenly not being busy, well, you can almost see the panic rush in.
And honestly, I’m having a moment right now that has me wondering, “How bad is my disease?” Today is the first day of a two-week vacation.
How will I function if I don’t have anything pressing at work?
Just for the record, I do NOT hate vacation, but here is the short list of things jeff noel does hate:
Which part what?
Which part of your life is the most exciting?
Which part of your life is the most challenging?
How do you balance the two?
Mind, body, spirit, money, and hq...
You see four of them below. The fifth is the "box" the holds the other four...
