For the 365 days group, day 115 and for those just making their way one day at a time.
It's weird sometimes. I actually am doing work more like I enjoy doing; that is, writing code everyday and testing it. I'm stretching my humble skills a bit, with new techniques, better approaches, and plumbing the depths of an unfamiliar system.
Yet some days it just feel like getting by. Some days everything just flows but still it isn't quite satisfying. Sometimes the question pops into your head, is this it, is this my life's work?
On those days I just work and get by; I make the best of those moments that I can, when the other barriers are down and good work can be done. I daydream in between the moments of work, and wonder what if.
How about you?

Day 92 (October 3rd, 2010)
Title: Remembrance
I know we have days like "Veteran's Day" and "Memorial Day", which are great to help remember those who have fought in wars, but sometimes its nice to just remember folks (warrior or not) on just a random Tuesday (or any day really). So, the next time you have a free moment, think about your history and who helped build it. Think about those who came before you and what part they took in creating the legacy that you are now living in. Perhaps you can also think about what part you will play for the next generation. Think about how what actions you can do to help those tomorrow remember those from yesterday.
Ok, I admit, that last line was a bit "fortune-cookie", but still, its not a bad thought!

“Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.”~ Napoleon Hill
"If I lived back in the Wild West days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like, "Hey look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink. " - Jack Handy
