How do you start each day?

On April 1, 2009, I accepted a long overdue challenge from our Priest.

And I’ve been doing it every day since.

Doing the math – that’s about 70 days in a row. Not a bad start, considering how long it took to finally make a commitment to change my habits.

What do I do each morning?

I’ll tell you tomorrow.

Just kidding.

I start each day on my knees. In prayer. I say my three, all-time favorite prayers.

If people only remember one thing about you after you’re gone, what will it be?

I hope for me, it’s. “Jeff had a thankful heart”!

Make it a GREAT day! Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

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 🙂

Faith, Hope, Love

Faith, Hope, Love.

Words to live by, eh?

What motivates you every day?

What inspires you to try to make a difference, even though people or circumstances seem to tell you you’re crazy?

Here’s a thought, posted at Lane 8.org.

You may find it just the thing to help you Dream Big, Get There, and most importantly, Stay There.

Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will? If not today, when?

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Got 70 pounds?

A few nights ago, I asked our son, eight, to weigh himself.

The scale said 70 pounds.

Wow!

Sometimes, as much as I claim to live in the moment, the moments pass by unnoticed.

Guilty as charged. Seventy pounds. How did that happen? When did that happen.

Every adult I’ve asked for advice on raising children – and there have been hundreds over the years – has said the same thing, “They grow up fast!”

Our lives can be one big flurry of activity with little time in the slow lane.

My goal is to be the slowest of the fastest. Seriously. Check out tomorrow’s post at Lane 8.org for the “punch line”.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
