I can't believe October is over. I must be having fun, because time is passing more rapidly than ever. This is the fourth month of this website, and I now can't imagine not spending a few minutes reading/writing/reflecting each day. That's a surprise - who would have thought that the Internet, with its go-go culture, ADD-style context switching and fire-hosed content would foster a reflective activity?
While it has some downsides, I think weblogging has been very good for me. Writing focuses thought. And that's part of what I had lost in the years as a commuting corporate animal - focus. I was on automatic pilot, responding to the day's events based on experience and some innate ability, but not taking time to focus much on those events, either business or personal. I was so "focused" on getting through the day, that the events just streamed on by.
And of course the events and the people are what make the day worthwhile. The journey really is the reward.
