I say it is the best job in the world. You get to see the little things like talking too much and other corks they may have. Keep up the great writing.

Both in spending quality time with my daughter and wife (and dog, even though she's jealous) and pursuing an on-line career. Lesson here is gratitude and conscious attention which you point out so well. A month ago, I got laid off and it’s been the best thing to happen to me.

I wrote a post on almost the same topic! ("...habits I long to break, flaws I wish to iron, and character traits I wish to strengthen.") Anyway, wishing you the best as you "highlight the best inside us, and do all we can to rinse the worst." I'll be busy trying to do the same. Great post!

Reading this has completely changed my mood for today. I'm thinking about leaving work and running home to be with the kids and listen to my daughters endless storytelling -- only this time trying to pay a little closer attention. What a beautiful post!
