Rainbow

The end of a rainbow.    It isn't often we see the end of a rainbow.  A touchdown.   Proof that there is no pot of gold at the end of a rainbow;  wonder who thought that up.   It had to be those wonderful Irish story tellers giving you a bit of hope on a cloudy day.   One thing for sure, a rainbow brings on a smile.

Hump Day, my how we look forward to mid week and a closing in on a new weekend;  how we wish our seconds away instead of taking one second at a time and enjoying it for what it is.   Stop and think and you will find that time waits for no man.  It disappears second by second and there is not getting it back.    

As creatures of habit we don't stop to think of how many seconds we actually waste in a day, until we are surprised with an event which wakes us up and makes us aware of time.   Right now some folks are fighting fires, flooding, loss of homes, loss of family members and friends.    A second and a life changes.   So do not waste your seconds being complacent because you are safe, think about what good deed you can do today to help those less fortunate;  remember it could happen to you.  Make a list of things to do;   take those clothes you never wear to Goodwill so they can be used by those who have lost all.    Check those cupboards for items you no longer use and donate them so someone can make good use out of them.    Those pennies you have been saving in a jug, just because you can, can be put to good use towards a loaf of bread or a can of soup for someone who hasn't had a bite to eat today.   I remember a very dark time, many years ago, when the only help came from a neighbor who had six children and  did not hesitate to share what little she had.   Kindness is a little miracle that lights the rainbow colors in the sky.    So today be a rainbow and color your world with kindness and love.   Spread a little of your compassion.  Add a little joy to your soul for being an angel of mercy today.    Some one person needs YOU to step up and share a few of those precious seconds today.    Think of those good deeds as stepping stones to the stairway leading to that pile of seconds well used.    The only one to stop you is YOU.....be magnanimous;  be graceful;  be kind;  be a color in a rainbow of good deeds.  Share YOU with those you love and like and your world will turn into the colors of the rainbow.  Hugs to all.
