I’ve always hated that expression, “when one door closes, another one opens.”
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is it an exit or entrance? Which room does it open on – bedroom, kitchen, bathroom? That would suck.
What if you have to walk backward through it, or are trying to be nice by holding the door for everyone else, does your new opportunity go to them instead?
It’s a stupid saying…
For all I know it’s a revolving door that spits me out right where I started, while still thinking I’m in a better place.
It’s just ridiculous, all this talk about doors.
Now, if they’re talking about making your own door, that’s something else entirely. Hand me that hammer and nails, this is going to take some time and hard work.

I like the humor and truth in this. At least if you make your own door, you know where it leads 🙂

Damn right, Tara. I love this, and I love the photo, too. New Orleans has some amazing doors, both literal and figurative.

My best friend tells me that all the time. I used to like it, find it reassuring. But in the last year, I’m over it. Leave my freaking doors and windows alone!!!

And then there are those darn dog doors-never had a dog smart enough to go through one, but I had to once when I locked myself out of the house;)
I like the idea of building my own door-and my own luck too. Great writing!

The only experience I have with dog doors, is one my mom had in her house. Raccoons kept getting inside… not good.

So basically… if I were to start saying “When one door closes” you’d most likely slam that door in my face? *snicker* Cool blend of 2 prompts!

Maybe not slam it, but definitely push you out of the way to go through first. HA!
