You have to have dreams. Little or big.
I've posted goals here, and they are more important to me than they have been in the past. They undergo continual modification:

I think it's because I have less time: I must make the most of it.
Slogging through Project Euler (projecteuler.net) makes me realize several things.
That although I once may have been top of my class, that status is so far behind me that it is purposeless to consider.
That I actually enjoy programming.
That I wish there was some website like this for photography -- and not just for photography but for post-processing as well. Post in the modern age is 80% of the work, and I do not treat it as such.

There are Friends and there are friends. I hate to categorize such things because they are all precious, but I find myself without Friends at the moment, aside of course from my magical Wife. It is the first such time that I can recall. I need to spend more time with Jake and Tom.
I see in those around me a constant desire to prove. I find that I simply want to enjoy, to learn, to laugh. Am I the best broom-sweeper? Who cares?

There is a magic about parenthood that I cannot describe, but I miss it every time I am away from her. It is similar though not identical to the mysticism of the beginnings of love, except that it has yet to fade as that inevitably does. She is completely magical in ways I could not have imagined months ago.
I read that they are special because we do not remember the first years of our lives: They give those years back to us, vicariously.
She talks to us. Understands more than we realize. Wants more than we can give. Believes in us more than we do in ourselves. She trusts and laughs with inspiring enthusiasm. Even when I see her for a mere hour a day, she is a magic beyond my normal world.
