Magic?

Did the Orlando Magic do it? Did they make history, and win their first ever NBA finals game?

Here’s this morning’s Orlando Sentinel article.

Do you ever challenge yourself to make your own history?

I mean, do you try to get better at things, or make a bigger difference. Or do you settle for, “That’s just the way it’s supposed to be for me, because that’s the way it’s always been”.

Wishing you an historical day. Seize it! jeff noel 🙂

Orlando Magic and Disney Magic

Orlando Magic and Disney Magic.

Game three is being played as we speak.

There was a young girl, maybe seven years old, who sang the National Anthem.

My wife told me she is autistic.

While I don’t know the specific story, the summary is there was a time when she couldn’t talk. They discovered her passion to sing.

That changed the course of her life, and the life of her family too.

Who’s to say what’s impossible or possible?

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Maybe I’ll read the headlines tomorrow morning and the Orlando Magic will have won tonight’s game. Who’s to say……

Final Answer? Final Post?

OK, my final answer – this is my final post for May 2009.

Duh, it’s May 31, so of course this is the final post this month.

Yes, and!

And moving forward, I’ll be posting periodically, rather than daily.

I’m now just 60 days away from Finland.

Expect some cool, inspiring, and intriguing stuff at Lane 8.

Over ten years ago, I started to get in shape by doing one push-up per day.

The first two years, I also tried to jog, but all I could do was walk.

Now here it is, one week before my 50th birthday, and I’m heading to the Master’s Track & Field World Championships in Finland, in 60 days.

I got to this level of accomplishment by applying what I teach.

Seriously.

Hey, I better get going. Promised myself a nap. I better get started. Carpe diem, jeff noel, aka jungle jeff 🙂

Two More Days, eh?

Yes, two more days.

Only two more days of five blog posts per day. Whew!

It was a good day though.

Today, we attended our son’s friend’s ninth birthday party. Swimming with the kids, catching up with the parents, and learning some new tech stuff from my friend Chuck – after the pizza and when the children were back at swimming a second time.

The Orlando Magic are back here tonight playing game six against the Cleveland Cavaliers. If the Magic win tonight, they go to the NBA finals. The Magic haven’t done that since 1995.

And tomorrow morning at 8:45AM Mass, my wife and I will lead the Children’s Liturgy of the Word for Kindergarten through 5th grade children.

Life is good. God is great. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Faith, Hope and Love

Faith, Hope and Love.

That’s what keeps me going. That’s what has me posting to five blogs each day.

Here’s a reality check though.

My Go Daddy stats show that jeff noel.org is the least visited of the five blogs. I’ll be adjusting my posting frequency and re-evaluating my strategy.

Meanwhile, I’ll post here everyday through May. May 30 & 31, and then……summer vacation. Yee-haw! jeff noel 🙂
