Back in the Groove

Barbara - you sound like you are having a wonderful time in Sheboygan and are getting your spark back! Good for you! I loved the depth of your writing yesterday. I cannot wait to read your re-vision for Horizon...please please share at some point!

It was a rainy day

The distant rumble of thunder gently stirred Erin from her sleep. She sat up and stretched leisurely, feeling the pull of muscles that had tightened overnight. As she gazed out her bedroom window, Erin saw that the early morning displayed dark, overcase skies that threatened rain. Smiling, Erin snuggled back into her bed, the blanket and sheets still warm and fragrant from her sleep. She breathed deeply and sighed with content. Today's weather was just what the doctor ordered. While others would view the day as dark and dreary, Erin loved days like this.

She reached over to her bedside table and took the novel she had purchased from the neighborhood used bookstore just the day before. Today she would treat herself to a day in bed, her world transported to the days where Kings and Queens ruled all of Europe. There she would experience the elegance and romance she hoped to experience someday outside the pages of a novel.
