Comments on: My passion no longer takes up all my time http://www.fusioncube.net/index.php/my-passion-no-longer-takes-up-all-my-time The online journey of a technophile, by Steve Brownlee Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:28:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: jeff http://www.fusioncube.net/index.php/my-passion-no-longer-takes-up-all-my-time/comment-page-1#comment-36448 jeff Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:39:57 +0000 http://www.fusioncube.net/index.php/my-passion-no-longer-takes-up-all-my-time#comment-36448 I respect the choice many couples make to not have children, but I sometimes wish I could adequately communicate to friends with no kids that there is nothing in life that I've found to be as fulfilling as loving and being loved by your own child. There are literally days when work/life in general has not been good and when I walk in the door and they come running from the other room with arms open wide, I get tears in my eyes. I never knew that sort of love before. Thanks for the post Steve. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets to feel that way.

My son just turned 1 year old a month ago. This past year I've totally dedicated myself to be a part of his life along with my wife. And the rewards are endless. Coming home to see that smile on his face saying "Dada's here!" while crawling fast towards the door makes even a bad day in the office a great day! Every little milestone is a celebration and we do our best to record each one and create family traditions in the process. This morning I was noticing how much he has grown and it all goes by so fast. My passion for programming is still here, but it will always be around throughout my career. Technology is always changing and in this field, we get to learn or experience something new all the time. Having a child and spending quality time with them; specially the early years creating memories and forming a good foundation; we only have one small chance. Thanks for sharing this post! Cheers..

In my opinion, the hard part is more specific to changing the priorities so that time with the children can be higher. The actual time with the children is pretty easy. Well put.
