While I sat on the bed a few nights ago I decided to read through the first chapter of a book that has been sitting on my shelf for a number of years.

Life is filled with the presence of things both seen and unseen. I have learned one thing over the short number of years I've been alive that despite my best intentions I'll feel trapped when I lose the joy in my heart.

Two books. Each book about half done and nothing to carry them forward. Well, I shouldn't say, nothing. Though I wonder how many of us end up with more unfinished, dusty, forgotten works than we haven't completed.

Been up since 3:30 and can't seem to find a way to go back to sleep. There has been a lot of stress and work to deal with on top of everything, however, sleep seemed to be the only thing I could look forward to with any certainty.

When I'm coding a new design for a client I take into consideration the tools that I will use to allow for a streamlined and unified experience that also is easy to manage.
