Jetlagged and grumpy

I’m tired.
I’m grumpy.
I’m jetlagged.

I don’t feel like writing today; my brain is mush.

But I made a commitment, and I’m sticking to it.

Something I learned many years ago is that we are defined by what we do, especially when we don’t feel like it.

As I said in my most popular post, The bigger the interface, the weaker the abstraction:

Writers write.
Readers read.
Runners run.
Lifters lift.
Dancers dance.
Programmers program.

We aren’t our best selves every day, but we can always show up and do the work.
