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 🙂

What if…..

What if you started writing? Everyday, I mean.

What if you started exercising, even if it was simply walking? Five days every week?

What if you started reading? Everyday?

What if you started praying? Again, I mean everyday.

What if you saved some money? Every week?

What if?

Things that make you go, “hmmmmmm…..”.

What if you didn’t put off until tomorrow, what you could do today? Carpe diem, jeff 🙂

Is Sunday a Day of Rest?

Is Sunday a day of rest?

Hardly feels like that in my household.

My goal in life is to become the kind of person my dog thinks I am.   My other goal in life is to be bored.

They both seem impossible.

Anyway, here’s a link to how last night’s trip to the Orlando Science Center went.  Just click here on jeffnoel.org

Make it a great day.  Hope it’s restful.  Carpe diem, jeff 🙂
