This post today isn’t going to be very technical in nature. Every once in a while you read something that’s very simple in concept, but not always obvious. Even though it should be. How often do we ask ourselves just how happy we are? And after asking that question, ask why?

Dan Kim posted an update to his blog today reflecting on this topic. The reason I found it is because it relates to a recent career decision to, as he says, ‘write code again’. Combine that with a happy home life and things are good.

I’m not exactly where I want to be in life, but I’m very happy as well. I can also relate to the importance of writing something down. For me, I think it’s the reason I started this blog and have been making an attempt to use the Day One app regularly.

It’s hard to believe, but this blog will be one year old in less than a week. I know there are very few followers, but I don’t really care. This is for me. I look back on everything I’ve written and linked to, and it’s hard to believe I did that.

How are you doing? If the answer is ‘not good’, what would it take to change it.
