The Opening and Closing of Doors

I have walked out of the 5th floor of the 801 Figueroa tower for the last time and with I have left behind:
-cubicles
-the desire to wear makeup everyday
-a lot of people i had gotten to know and love over the last three years,
-a 6:30 alarm set every morning,
-the desire for happy hour,
-my logon ID,
-several nicknames,
-and a lot of beauracracy.

I have opened the door to: dressing like a college student, sleeping in until 7:30, doing wonderful things between the hours of 8 and 5, like visiting my grandma for lunch, going to the getty villa, trying to meditate and cleaning my kitchen.

Life is good. I make the sign of the cross as I am driving down the 405 South and there is no traffic because it is noon. I am thankful for life.

Amen.
