Before I got lost in the paperwork, there was a time, when I HAD the time, to just, gaze up at that blue clear sky, and daydream away, then, reality came a-knockin’, telling me, to GET back to work, to keep on, crunchin’ them numbers, to make my sales quota at the end of the month!

and this, is what that looked like…not my photograph…

Before I got lost in the paperwork, there was, that period of time, when I could just, sneak out, for a cup of joe in the afternoon, to steal some time away, for just me…

Before I got lost in the paperwork, life was, too easy then, and it hadn’t, been the same, I got buried now, completely, in the paperwork, and, I have, absolutely NO time for myself, can’t even, take a five-minute short break, to just B-R-E-A-T-H-E!

Before I got lost in the paperwork, I actually, enjoyed my life, and then, I got, buried too deep, crunching the numbers, balancing the budget, and everything else.

Before I got lost in the paperwork, how was life back then???  I thought, real hard on it, and, I can’t, remember those days, they’re all, behind me, too far, far away, like, a distant, dream now………
