I do love a thunderstorm.

I just witnessed the most amazing thunderstorm I've seen in a long time...with bright vivid cracks of lightning which lit up the night (early morning) sky and resonating booms of thunder rolling on top of each flash....what an amazing spectacle of Mother Nature at her most glorious. Rarely can something make me go to the window and just watch for the sake of watching. August certainly provided her own firework display this morning. I love having insomnia for moments like this. Although how anyone could sleep through that one is beyond me. While I watched the majesty of Mother Nature, I was reading some comments provided to me by the group of trainees I've been mentoring. To say their answers to my innocent questions was illuminating is putting it mildly. (no pun intended.) I'm glad I gave them the chance to vent, they sorely needed it. I have much to learn from these intelligent and well versed folks. I cannot belive I am still up, I've been up since 600 AM to go into work early, on my day off, to give it up for the team, as they have no trainer this week. Boy am I glad I did. Their trust and belief in me is an awesome responsibility, which I would not trade for anything. They've given me a boost of confidence, which of course I get already from my awesome TL... but this was a booster shot, if you will. A healthy dose of vitamins to complete my RDA. :) Must try and rest to be ready for tomorrow, which promises to be nothing if not eye opening.
