for a lift every day
draw the blinds up, away
’cause all work and no play is a chore

Another Florescence for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poem Challenge. This is my oasis…my respite from the deadlines, boring meetings, missed lunches at my 9-5. I have spent years doing what I do in windowless cubicles, never seeing the light of day, so I am very aware that this is an enormous perk…to be able to see the outside…even if I don’t have time for a stroll to feel the breeze on my face. I have rearranged my office to give me a side view out and I have decided to draw the shades up to the ceiling, giving me a full floor to ceiling view. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner. What a lift it gives me to see daylight every day. Hope you have a window view in your corner of the world…even for a brief moment or two. It makes all the difference!

I’ve only once worked in a place that didn’t get daylight at all, in a wine merchants under the arches of Holborn Viaduct. I was there less than a year—it would have killed me if I’d stayed longer.

They are painting the walls here to a light color and promising to clear a few windowed offices for a break room for the cubicle dwellers. It had been depressing before this change, dark grey and green walls. Felt like the bowels of a battleship! The improvement is long overdue! 😊

Light means so much to all of us . We die a little if we are deprived of sun light 💜💜
