Today, we launched an application that I’ve been working on for use within the company. The first few days of an application launch are always frantic, so it’s nice that today has gone pretty smoothly (fingers crossed). I have to admit that this was not my favorite project to work on, but it really wasn’t the most painful. There are a few projects on the horizon that I know about. One of them sounds like a really fun project. The other, not so much. In any case, I’m excited to be moving on to something new.

I had trouble sleeping last night. I started out this year thinking it would be the best year in my life thus far. Unfortunately, some thing have happened in these early days of this year that could really make this year quite the opposite. So, this year will either turn out to be the best ever, or the worst.

I crawled into bed at a very early (for me at least) 2am because I had to get up at 7 to get a ride to the train. For several hours, I lied there, awake, just agonizing over the possible outcome present situations. At last, I had a thought that put me to sleep.

Every year can turn out to be the best or worst year of our lives. We’re always poised on the brink of uncertainty. It is how we weather the storms of life that determines how life plays out. I have no control over what happens to me; I only control how I react to those event. I’m not sure if this idea can stop the ulcer I feel forming in my gut, but it at least helped me to get to sleep.
