Keep on Keepin' on

Hola folks. Como estan? It's absolutely gorgeous here in Southern California today. Not a cloud in the sky, the weather is warm, but still has a briskness to it, and the ocean is reflecting the sun as though it's covered in diamonds. Yep, this is why I live in Southern California.

It's days like today when it becomes crystal clear why I don't enjoy working in an office 5 days a week. Toss out all the politics and management issues and I'm still left with the reality that I'm living in a paradise that I'm mostly limited to seeing through an office window. Even worse, due to the energy that I expend while in the office, I'm not exactly feeling like going out and enjoying the landscape when I get off work. Quite the opposite actually. Not for long, though. My focus is entirely on what's next; where my path will lead me. Until then I'll just have to make due with the periodic breaks in my schedule that I get. It could be worse. Indeed, it could be much, much worse.

Here's a poem I found. Not sure who the author is, but it works for me right now.

The Search

The search for perfection
A roller coaster of life
More than a mere collection
Of happiness and strife

Memories fade, dreams shine bright
Things fall into place
When one learns not to fight
The path to the dream space
