Day #3 Prompt: Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). - Ali Edwards (@aliedwards)
Yes, I'm a few days behind. Yay finals!
The date: November 29, 2010.
I threw my bag over my shoulder and took one last look before heading to the elevator. Down it crept, so slowly. Around the corner and heading for the exit, I imagine it's how a runner feels at the end of the marathon when they see the finish line. Finally! A huge smile across my face and I felt lighter than I had in many years. It was all I could do not to skip across the parking lot.
As I drove away, I didn't look back. No last glance in the rear view mirror. Just looking forward, eyes on the road ahead, both literally and figuratively.

No looking back. No regrets. Smile. Wonderful!
Love it. There can be joy in endings. :)
You should have skipped... I'd have skipped if I was you. I'd probably have been singing some kind of song - probably badly - that had come in to my head (even if I diddn't know all the words) too.
