I witnessed my one-year old nephew experiencing so many things in his life for the first time.It's amazing to see how he already developed a sense of humor and what cracks him up. Watching him smile at me is the most calming thing in the world.

@fribbledom Kids are something else man. My youngest just turned 2 and I swear his vocabulary went from a handful of single words to dozens of words and putting together basic sentences in a month. Some of the wildest and most hilarious things come out of my 3 year old's mouth :-D. Never a dull moment.

@fribbledom I've gotten to work on a number of interesting projects at work, business is booming, we built a second raised garden bed, the vegetables from the first bed were 😋, and I've recently been learning a ton about practical DevOps.

@fribbledom I have several sleeping issues.One of them is grinding my teeth. I have been doing that for ~10 years now. I also have sleep apnea and for that I got some kind of braces (https://somnomed.com/en/dentists/somnodent/somnodent-flex/).Normally they get replaces once every 5 years. I grind them broken within 5 days (usually 1 or 2). Repair usually takes a week, so I keep using them until they really (start to) fall apart.It's now been 4 weeks and they're still intact, so maybe I've stopped grinding (so severely)? 🤯

@fribbledom Possibly related to that:I've learned 2 things:1) Everything that you give attention to, grows2) Name 3 things that you're grateful for (every day)When you're having negative thoughts (not uncommon with depression) and you focus on them, they tend to get 'bigger'. So when that happens, I apply the 2nd thing. That often resulted in me realizing those things weren't worth fussing about. And I stopped doing that.The things that didn't go away, apparently are important to me.

@kelbot @fribbledom honestly I didn't realize just how funny kids are. My kid is 4 but even at 1 they are joking around and stuff and it's amazing

@fribbledom I'm not good at "exciting". A lot of good things happened but they were all small things. Like baking bread, and working fewer hours. In fact, that might be my story: I gave a talk about a year ago arguing that people in my line of work should work less and have a life outside of work. I put it on SlideShare and forgot about it. This morning it has almost 900,000 views, so I hope it will have motivated people to change their lifestyle for the better.

@fribbledom So I'm in.my 2020 experience was not the worst. Starting in summer, I took some time for exercising (first time in my life) after 2 months I was capable of running 10km in one go (before that, I was exhausted by just moving up stairs). In september I got my Bsc-degree from University, in parallel to 40 hours of work per week and obviously Corona.At work, I developed a message-protocol, that is now powering ~1 Million (renewable energy) devices worldwide.So 2020 wasn't too bad ;)
