Light up like a rainbow!




Greetings!

Have you ever seen a rainbow appear in an otherwise gloomy sky?
Doesnt it gladden your heart, the sight of pretty colours arching across into infinity?

Such a miracle, isnt it? That out of nowhere, a beautiful band of colours appears and takes your breath away.

Likewise we need rainbows in our lives. Someone may bring a rainbow into your life, you may create a rainbow in someone's life or you can create your own rainbow.

What is a rainbow after all? It could be different things to different people. To me it's a sign that life is beautiful if we look for the beauty that waits to be discovered. To some it could be the symbolic journey to their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. To others it could represent a journey into the unknown, the future, perhaps.

Or a person could be the rainbow in your life, one who brings colour and hope to an otherwise bleak existence, the dull hopeless grind of daily struggle. Let us try to be a rainbow and bring colour and cheer to others, whether it be sharing or help, or just pointing the way to someone in need.

Rainbows do disappear

Hi

Rainbows are so pretty, a pastel hairband across the tresses of the sky.
The promise of a rainbow - colours redolent of memories sequestered away which appear now and then.

Children are little rainbows in one's life. They bring colour into the drab grey existence of old age. They sparkle so and their company brings cheer.

My grandchildren light up my life with their innocence, their laughter, their questions and their unquestioning belief in what their elders have to say.
They are such a joy. It makes you re-live your youth again, you are given a second chance to enjoy their energy, their spontaneity, which you never had with your own children as you were too busy trying to eke out a living just so that there are 3 meals a day and books for school.

So enjoy your grandchildren if you have any. Live and savour your moments with them cos they will never come round a third time. Maybe someone out there can share their experiences??
