The Next Chapter
8 trips escorting Ms. Dolly from the 3rd floor, down the elevator, through a maze to the loading docks and into the dumpster. 4-5 boxes per dolly load, filled 3/4rths of a dumpster with 23 years of accumulated files, folders, weird hardware, cables, manuals, proposals, research and software. Feels like a weight lifted from my shoulders.
It's been a fun ride, but now I'm hopping off and fishing tickets out of my pocket, looking around at the other attractions. One look back at the ride I just got off ---for many years this was my view, facing north...
Facing East, where birds would often land on top of those trees and cock their heads curiously to check out the strange dude in the glass cage...
I brought bright-eyes in on the way and, of course, she's taking pictures of the clouds ;-)

Got to be lots of mixed emotions being experienced about now.
ReplyDeleteCongrats "A". Now you start a new journey, but you can change course any time you want or you can stop for a while and smell the Roses as you find them. Bright eyes might just know of a Rose garden that needs exploring together. Enjoy the trip.
