I just discovered a new app, Streaks. I’m strangely excited about it, primarily because it forces me to prioritize: what are the six most important habits to me? I want to write more describing my recent journey with habits, but I’ll save that for another time. I’ve been doing a great job on many habits with the help of Coach.me, but the simple truth is that the flexibility of the platform enables me to over-commit - and being over-committed impacts everything, not just the superfluous things.

It’s time - for me to find a new adventure. I do so knowing that this experience - spending time with you - will be a great source of pride, joy, and laughter for the rest of my life. Through Isilon, and later EMC, I experienced an amazing amount of professional learning, while spending my time with wonderful people; people I will enjoy spending time with for years to come. There were certainly challenging times and even on my most optimistic days I never imagined just how exciting the journey could be.

My house is filled with music. Eriko is singing O Holy Night (which is one of my favorite seasonal songs), the kids are jamming out with Japanese pop music from Eriko's childhood (on MD) - not to mention dancing and talking - and I'm ever aware of the gentle machine hum and the click of the keyboard. What an awesome fall morning.
