I have returned from my Rural Retreat vacation a little bit sun burnt but in one piece. I had a fantastic week but I’m not sure I can even begin to describe it without sounding like a hippie, which makes me not sure I should even try. I’m feeling centered, relaxed, inspired, and, now that I’ve been home long enough to take a shower, clean. I’ll have pictures up later (though, unfortunately, no breathtaking mountainscapes), but for now I’m going to go put lotion on my nose and call Johanna. Time to reconnect with the real world.
