My dream is not caring about things I don't want to care, to have friends and family around me, to live with the woman I love, to eat well, to sleep as I want, to have good sex, to live near the sea, to be in health, to die satisfied of life.
Good point about working long hours. Unfortunately currently I'm working too much, but fortunately I'm working too much spending my time in things I like a lot. I need just to adjust how many hours I work every week :)
One thing that makes me happy and I noticed that works with many people I know is to go out for the two days of the week end, without bringing with me my laptop, so that I'm sure I'll enjoy other things.
Thanks for asking, this is a good exercise to do: what makes you happy? and what you still need to accomplish in order to be happy? It's better to fix what's wrong asap as life is wonderful but not infinite :)
It definitely sounds as if you have your priorities in a good place: the people in your life, working on only work you enjoy, creating environments that make you happy (physically and otherwise). Do you think you are common amongst the people you know? How much are you a product of your environment? i.e. Your family, Sicily (I assume this is home), programming community (I assume that's what you do for Redis).
Actually, given how colorful your life sounds, I would love to see more on video. Would you be interested in a Skype chat, and even shooting a bit of video with some sort of handicam, or whatever you have (still photos even)? It doesn't have to be now, but something to consider.
I'm glad you enjoy the exercise. I find it impossible to be happy without thinking about it once in awhile.
I like the idea of walking away from your laptop for a couple days every week. I do that for most of Sunday when we visit my in-laws, but if it weren't for that day I'd find it difficult to avoid.
