NOLA Notes

Another funeral attended today

Squeezed between billable hours.

A life’s accomplishments recognized;

A day’s work to do.

Focus made on the small moments,

The quiet moments filled with love.

Allowing that one’s work is so much more

than the hours spent doing the job.

And permitting that pleasure is

successes and soirees and hard-won wins

to no less extent than it is

a family dinner with a green salad

followed by a well mixed drink.
