Like most people, my days used to be spent dreaming of the time I could work from home full time. My own computer. My own schedule. My own garden. My own TV. My own family around me. It all seemed so wonderful.

And wonderful it was. For a year.

Then I got bored.

Below is a list of my favourite links from the past week in the blogosphere.

Today Is The Best Day Of Your Life. Tomorrow Will Be Too.
Ayomide! gives a fantastic motivational talk on her blog. Ayomide! is a friend of mine, a 16 year old student, and a blogger who is putting out some fantastic content. She aspires to be a motivational speaker and with the type of writing she has demonstrated in this motivational post, I’d say the odds of her achieving her goal are very, very high. Fantastic work, Ayomide!

Today is the end of the work week and I’m having a day of reflection.

I’ve spent the day looking at photos from my past. Mainly photos from the trip to Switzerland I organised for my Scouts in 2006. It was really nice to look back on those photos and see so many smiling young people as a result of my work.

All this reflection got me thinking about the past of this blog. Specifically, the past of the people that make the blog. You! My commentators. The people who motivate and inspire me to continue writing.

We all like to see comments on our blogs. They make us feel good. They let us know people are listening. They show us people are interested in what we have to say and they develop discussion in what can often seem like a one-way conversation.
