For me, it used to be accomplishment, but now it is peaceful enjoyment.

I think the main thing I consider is the notion of being open to learning more. The last couple years have been wonderful on that front, partially thanks to my partner. I feel like I continue to understand and naturally arrive at empathy more and more. It's pretty sweet.

That and eating really great food. I like putting the good fuel in this machine. Heh heh.

Tranquility. And knowledge. Often these things are diametrically opposed goals.

The ability to never, ever again have to walk into the same office & work with the same people in the same building every day. 13 years and counting...
