"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." ~ Dr. Seuss

I went to a tea party yesterday with my daughter. My daughter had gone to a leadership camp over the summer that had a reunion get together yesterday. They invited some women leaders from our county and honored them for their accomplishments and contributions. I met some great people. One of them said something that is lingering in my thoughts till today. Well it wasn't anything new. I believe Socrates had said it ages ago - "Love what you do and you will never work a day in your life" Do I love what I do? I used to. This IT world used to be very intriguing. Writing software is like working on puzzles. Then what happened? Project Management? Babysitting people and taking care of egos and conflicts. I think deep down I still like the software development aspect of it - the geek in me has be to alive somewhere. I need to rekindle this romance.

I went for a walk at lunch time. Sidewalk turned into a trail and path was narrow for a while. I saw two boys coming from the opposite direction riding their bikes. They must be around 10-12 years old. I got off the trail into the grassy part so that they can pass through. One of them smiled at me and gave the slightest nod of the head to thank. I was warmed by his gentlemanly manners. Who says next generation has no respect? I beg to differ :)
