fantastic

Today started as a bit of a struggle. I felt myself trying to slip into denial....I felt it because I wanted to call ah....I wanted to pretend for just one more day that things were "normal" and then deal with the fact that they aren't, tomorrow.

So, you know what I did? I got myself ready, took my daughter to the pool with baby in tote and spent the day in the sun....I came home, gave everyone a bath and took a shower myself...then a nap!!!

It was a great day because I made a choice not to give into the thoughts that rob me of the sunshine.

Strange thing happened too....I know my screen name is rainbow and I don't know why I picked that.....I am not "into" rainbows or anything....anyway, it rained a quick shower and after, the biggest rainbow came out. I smiled and just knew it was a sign of a job well done!!! It was a beautiful pat on the back.

chugga chugga, I can do this, I am doing this......even if I stumble a bit, I can do this.

Now, we will look for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow... however, in your case you can make that happen.

Good day. More to come.

You really are a rainbow, heralding a better day after the storm.
I am so glad that you did so much with the day and made it a good one for you all.
Thanks so much for your uplifting post.

God bless
