hard to see but there is some wicked stair to climb for exercise just ahead.
A few words please?
Last night before sunset it was raining hard, but then bright sunshine broke through!
I wish it had dawned on me more quickly that the rain was slowing down. I dashed out side in my bare feet into the centre of the lawn.
I was in time to catch a glimpse of the rainbow which I was confident I would find.
The rainbow was beautiful, bright, vibrant, and rich. However, I had ran out unprepared and was caught without a camera. When I returned, albeit quickly, the colours were washed out, pale in comparison to 4 minutes before.
I learned a lesson:
When it rains, be prepared for a rainbow because the sun is still up there.

Dear LA. I have been exactly there. In hospital, young, alone, frustrated, failed transplant surgery; I went into the stairwell and punched the wall. All I did was hurt my hand a little. Bless you. I hope you will feel better soon.

So pretty ❤
I've learned that lesson this year too. Life moves fast! Sometimes I move fast with it, sometimes not. But its all ok anyway.

I know it’s been a long time since we actually talked but I follow you on FB and welcome your posts. Life is not always fair but it’s the ‘hand’ that we’re dealt and there are limited options – complain or play the hand that fate dealt you. Anyways, this is one of my favorite songs and if you want to hear a different version, click on the following link… it’s beautiful.

I am so glad to hear from you Nick. I have seen this version before and I have kept it in my folders to watch over again. It’s a cool version absolutely. Life isn’t what we order, there is no menu for life.
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”-Lao Tzu
My best wishes!

I did something similar with the sunset tonight. It was a rainy evening and by the time I noticed the hints of pink in the sky… well, too late! I climbed the stairs but it had gone. 🙂 🙂
