The View

There are many things that I love about my job and there are many things I don't as well. But one one thing that I cherish the most is the view from my cubicle. Our building was built right adjacent to these beautiful woods in the middle of Richardson. And for those who do not know Richardson, it is a city in the middle of the DFW metroplex. A city, where an empty patch of land goes to the builders faster than you can say "Jack Robinson"! So I take pride in what I see from the window of my week-day, day-time home! But after working here for almost 3 years, I have forgotten the greatest part of having a window cubicle with a great view: to actually enjoy it! Every time somebody comes by to visit me for the first time, our conversation always starts with "Wow! What a great view!". And thats when I look out and say, "Wow! It IS a great view!". But after they leave, I get busy burying my head into my monitor. What a shame! And how often we do that in our lives. We are so busy with what to do tomorrow that we overlook the beautiful view in front of our freakin' eyes, today. What a shame! So starting today I am going to try hard to enjoy the view from the window. The beautiful blossoms in spring, the plush green leaves in summer, the changing colors of winter, the barren trees in winter and not to mention the squirrels. You should too! :-)


Peace!
