Sometimes I feel anxious and long for the comfort of all that is familiar while away from home, and when I am at home I get anxious and long for an adventure.
I lie awake while everyone else sleeps, like is so often true at home as well.
Except for tonight in a hotel in St. Louis, there is a storm raging that is unlike anything I have experienced.
There is a wicked, wicked thunder and lightning and pouring rain.
When the thunder and lightning began, we were leaving the St. Louis Arch and it was dusk.
It was magical!
But it went on and on, getting more and more intense. By the time we reached our hotel it was pouring down rain and the radio announced " severe thunder storms warning" in effect for at least an hour.
Now, 5 hours later it is only more booming and electric.
One of the girls said earlier tonight "Now I understand why someone might be afraid of lightning."
Lightning is the rainbow of the night sky.
If I were home my dog would be up with me and I'd have someone to comfort, which is, of course, a comfort to me.
