I work on the 8th floor at Presbyterian hospital in downtown Albuquerque. The view from one of the windows in my clinic faces north, northeast-ish. The view from that window is pretty nice, especially in the spring, summer and fall when the trees are green, or starting to change colors.
In the dead of winter, the trees are… well, dead, but there’s still a pretty nice view of the Sandia Mountains.
I gaze out that window a few times a day and invariably wish I was out there, rather than cooped up in the building.
Not that I necessarily hate my job, but I would much rather be breathing fresh air from atop the mountain, or roaming among the trees along one of the many hiking trails up there.
Knowing that today is Thursday, and all I have to do is get through the rest of the day today, then tomorrow, is what keeps me going.
Come on, Saturday!
