another Monday

another Monday
another day staring a long work week
another day dreaming of slumbering 
instead of typing long emails

I sometimes wonder if I went back in time
altering my paths if things would be different
or still lead me to the same door

    I’m so glad I don’t have to feel like that anymore, Maria, but you’ve reminded me of how it feels with your clever use of repetition.

      I noticed the traffic was much lighter on Monday. People do take Easter Monday off and many schools take spring break around this time. I still had to work though. Thanks for reading.

    From a retired lady's point of view .. there are days I miss the whirlwind of a full time job ~ then there are the days I do nothing but think, listen to music, am allowed to follow my creative instincts ~ and it feels so right. You will get there, promise.

    We all often wonder if altering paths would have made our life different. I like your Q, Arcadia.

    The only thing I miss about working is the social aspect of it.

    I think many of us ponder that, Maria! Great poem!
