Having spent a few weeks dealing with a few personal issues, I’ve rediscovered what it’s like to be back in the saddle writing code again. I can’t explain to you how good it feels. I went through a little spell contemplating whether or not designing web sites and writing stupid little web apps was something I wanted to do with my life.

Generally I feel that people need to take a break from the routines in their lives. I’ve come an understanding recently that maybe you need to take a step away from the daily grind, let a few things go for a while, so that you can come back to appreciate them even more. I’m not just talking about programming, I think this applies to everything you do in life: your job, your close friends and family, your hobbies.

It’s interesting, I never would have thought this way until I get a well deserved kick in my arse. But maybe thats just life… learning through mistakes.
