This Book

I have had it, closed the door, turned the page read, absorb, apply and move on. A method to the madness; stagnation prevention... no moss grows on a bookworm. Stagnation clock-watching dead end job a dose of poblano couldn’t spice up.

Ah, this is so optimistic that the new path you decide to take will be so much more satisfying my friend!

Yes, books can transform the most mundane days. I enjoyed this poetic pause.

I really like the last stanza. So many people are trapped or so they think in these kinds of jobs. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

I did for a really long time; fortunately, I found myself again and it's been much more entertaining...only now, days last 4 or 5 minutes.
