Look for a Rainbow

Postby monik7 » Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:40 pm

My daughter and 4 grandkids are vacationing in Australia for a month. Today she sent me this picture taken near Adelaide on the southern coast. I think it's the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen. There's also a faint second rainbow above it. I guess I've been a little down lately and this picture hit a nerve. Its lesson to me is that no matter how rough and difficult things are, we should always try to look for a rainbow - either physical or in some other form for inspiration to keep remembering that the world and life are still beautiful. That's why I wanted to share it with all of you. Please forgive me if I'm being too sentimental, but I know we all face tough times occasionally and I hope this will provide some strength through those hard times.

That is beautiful! We just had one like that the other day and I pulled over three times to take pictures of it. That was also a double rainbow. It really does uplift your mood when you see one! Glad it made you feel better. :D

Hi Sandy.

Sorry to hear that you have been a bit "off". I always enjoy reading your positive, often uplifting, posts. I look for them, and they help me through my day.

Food for thought on you "Rainbow" post. A good reminder.

I need to look for rainbows in my own life much more assiduously.

Thank you. Hope you feel better soon.
