6 Word Fridays: Last

As always, thanks Melissa ... this week, the word is "Last."

**********************************************

Last year, I contemplated my life
as I sat on Anna's couch
laptop ready, Mount Ranier in view
Oh What A View It Is
At that time, I had placed
an offer to buy a house
here in Southwest Florida. Then -- epiphany.
Why Southwest Florida?  Why not ... anywhere?!?!
Suddenly freed, I opened my mind
thinking what's next.  What I want.
If anything - what? Where? When? How?
It was then, just last year
I reordered my life. Planned "next."

Last December I applied for entry
to four schools -  Ph.D. programs in
four separate areas of the country.
After two "dings," my thoughts were
on the last two. Now what?

Last week I was desperate to
hear from the last two. Anything.

Finally. Good, nay, GREAT news from
Chicago. Going home - I can't wait.
AT LAST - I know. UIC bound!
