Today's Exercise: What is your dream goal?

So with the motivation series on headspace the exercise is to ask yourself a question and notice the feeling the question evokes, but not to answer the question (difficult to do).  Todays question was "What is your dream goal?"  I was actually pretty successful in the exercise and didn't try for answers, and did notice an immediate evocation of excitement at the question, almost like an electrical surge.  Pretty cool that just asking yourself the question can do something like that.

In other areas, I'm likely to be offered a permanent position with my current contract, so I get the joy of going through and comparing benefits to the ones I have with my contract agency, changing benefits if I accept, setting all that up again with every doctor.   Whee.

I've been slowly working on a website for IT people looking for "part time" positions.  I don't see much in the way out there as far as resource for this type of work.  It's probably a pretty niche market, but I think people will look for more of this in the future.  I know I would prefer to have several part time positions (if only your health benefits weren't so tied to your employer, but this will change as well) than one full time one, so I don't have all my eggs in one basket.

What's the most important thing in your life right now?

I've been doing headspace for over a year (off and on) and I just started the Motivation pack, and the focus of the first day was the question "What is the most important thing in your life right now?"  Now we weren't supposed to focus on an answer during the exercise, but of course that's difficult not to do.  As I expect most people with children would answer, my answer was "my kids".  Then I thought some more, and wondered about how and if my focus and actions reflected that.  Some tough questions there.  So, "What's the most important thing in your life right now?", and are you acting like it is?

So I've been using AngularJS for about 2 years now and while it is a vast improvement over using the javascript of old, the IDE's still fail to impress. I know it's due to javascript being a duck typed language but I've been waiting far too long for Something to impress me. VS Code is good, but still doesn't recognize things that are defined in other files when trying to go to definition, and for parameters you won't get anything other than "any" if you're not working with typescript. I know, duck typed, and that's what gives JS a lot of its power but man I hate not having intellisense for so many things.
On another topic, tomorrow I finish up my focus topic(?) on headspace (meditation), it will be nice to finally move on to something new, but I haven't picked out my next area yet.
My goat farming partner has brought me 6 more goats over the last 3 days, herd size is now 18. I'll be working this weekend to get more yard fenced in and hoping the guy that will be clearing another acre for us will be able to do it before next month. I also need to set up a catch pen so I don't have to chase them to give them shots.
