The Daily Post issued a Photo Challenge asking bloggers to share a photo of what Renewal looks like to them.

Life is all about timing.  If you ask any one person the same question during different times in their life, you will most likely receive very different answers.

Over the weekend I went on a short trip to Palm Springs with a girlfriend of mine.  We both had a three day weekend and were in desperate need of a mini getaway.  Luckily, it didn’t take long before the fresh air, beautiful scenery and friendly locals had us smiling from ear to ear.  While our bodies were tired from exploring, our minds were alert and thriving on the beauty around us and wonderful conversation.  Before leaving the hotel, we decided to lay by the pool in our clothes and let the sun wash over us.  Grateful for the trip and our shared joy, we laid back and let the sun shine upon us, bathing us in her beauty.

As I reclined in my lounge chair, spirit soaring with peace and renewed energy, I snapped this shot.

Yes, this is renewal.  Fresh air. Nature. A good friend. Sunshine.

Yours truly,
