A brief Interlude...

Ok, the blog with the challenge entries will be up tonight (late PCT) or tomorrow after I vote. I just finished seven straight days of 14+ hours (Well, ok, Halloween was only eight and today was only eight). I just had to tell you about the recuperative powers of a beautiful day and good fantasy. I walked out from the Stardust into the employee parking lot. It was strangely quite and only about 73 degrees at twelve noon (23-24 for all you metric users, which, I might add, the US should use too but we're too arrogant!). The sun was out and a gentle breeze was blowing. I stood near my car for many moments. I just stood, sometimes with my eyes closed and enjoyed the tactile sensations. It was fabulous, although I probably got a few strange looks, I don't really care. It should not take a hectic and busy week to appreciate the simple beauty of a day, but it did make the simple experience, that much more profound! Then when I got home I fantasized with a dear friend about living in different locations in Europe (I lived there for three years and have longed to go back!). In just two hours I felt rejuvenated! Now, I'm gonna spend some much needed time with my daughter.
