Ink smears, as thoughts sometimes do. ~Terri Guillemets

Some days so many words rush to my head,

But I don't know how to say them
So I write them instead

out of the blue.

I haven't been a happy camper lately. I've just been saddened at....life really. The way we treat it and the way some people live it. Crying randomly and thinking everything was pointless.

Today though, I was making a trip to the general store to get some buttermenthols to cure my winter cold and I saw something that made me stop.

In the gray sky, was the most perfect rainbow I had ever seen.
It stood out magnificently, its colours the brightest thing in the sky.
I must of looked like a weirdo, standing absolutely still, in awe of this natural wonder.
To others it was just a rainbow.

It made me think though. There is nothing to be sad about. Well, thats not completely true. There are millions of things to be sad about. But, those are things that can be fixed, and being sad about them isn't going to get you anywhere.

That one simple, full rainbow, changed everything. It made me...happy.

I am grateful to that rainbow. So grateful in fact, that I blew it a kiss before I turned the corner into my street.
