Sometimes you just need to get away; and sometimes you happen to have a work-related overnighter that coincides with that need. The combination of these two events means not only that The Universe has an eye on you, but also that you have been dutifully tipping your waitresses and all that good karma has finally caught up with you. I am currently stuffed full of Mexican food and contentedly curled up in a big, fluffy hotel bed watching a fantastic summer storm.
This is the part where I think I’m supposed to make some kind of metaphor about recharging batteries, the thing is I just don’t have enough juice to make that comparison without using every possible cliche. So I won’t.
(I bet you thought this was the part where I went ahead and made that comparison anyway, right? Nope–not gonna do it.)
Instead, allow me to point out the amazing rainbow I saw from the freeway this evening. Oh my goodness, it was so gorgeous! I pulled over and snapped a few pictures, which of course don’t do it justice at all. It is now several hours later and I am still thinking about storms washing away all the dirt, rainbows, God,promises, fresh starts and new beginnings.
Yes, this is exactly what I need right now.

Comment by Melanie 2010 July 29 @ 8:55 amI believe there was a rainbow when we took our ventures as well. HMMM! I don’t know what that means… likely nothing. Recharge my friend! Nothing like a little time away…
