2013/8 From Start to Finish

I made good time getting ready for work this morning, all things considered. Still it was 6:02am as I pulled out of the driveway. After a few weeks off of work, I expected the sky to be light already, but it was dark and still as I made my way to the freeway. Traffic was light, which was all I really cared about.

As I merged onto the 57 South, I turned my eyes to the East and gasped at the moon. Against the black horizon, the rim lighting from the sun, yet to be seen, the moon came to life. It was almost as if I could reach out and grab it from the sky. I would have taken a picture, but I knew my little cellphone could never do it justice so my memory of the moment will have to suffice.

The walk from the car to the office was easier than it had been at the end of 2012. At some point in the morning, I realized that I was getting things done, not just counting the seconds until I could leave and get back to my recliner. I felt happy.

From start to finish, it has been a very good day.
