Hidden perks of a rainy day

It feels like I have been running for weeks. Appointments, baby visiting and sitting, trips and family time, book-signings, book marketing - the summer is flying past without hardly a moment for a deep breath to enjoy.  Today, I took my daughter to a follow-up doctor's appointment and had a golf date with friends this afternoon. Then the thunder and rain started.  

So! Here I sit with my computer on my lap, feet propped up, sipping my tea. A little oasis of calm in the flurry of activity.
