Some days are just good days. Today I did good work and it felt good. Nothing spectacular happened just a good day. It is satisfying to have a good day.

I just finished reading Randy Pausch's book The Last Lecture. I don't know if it took some time to sink in or if it just touched parts of me that were resting, but I feel a peace with some realizations that now I just need to put into motion.

I guess it is a matter of timing. 2009 is just around the corner so it is a time of reflection. A time to think about the things in life I am grateful for, to recognize the elements I wish to change, and to have the courage to take those first steps. Sound familiar? Yes the Serenity Prayer. It has been a big part of my life since 2005 - thank you to Amy who unknowingly gave me the right direction at the right time.

It's warming up here. Today was 0 degrees and sunny. It is now -1. North Dakota is a beautiful, challenging state. Thank God I get the priviledge to live here.
