When I look to the skies, I often see very magical formations in clouds like the one below that looks a bit like a rainbow colored lightening bolt seen through the the bare trees:
When I see rainbows, my heart lifts up to the heavens in a sort of communion with the universe that fills me with joy.
It’s so important to find joy in the little things in life, as I have noted here in my Daily Affirmation today, and my Food For Thought post yesterday.
We go through life sometimes in a very numb state of mind, in that we forgot to look to the skies for rainbows or stop and smell the flowers.
I learned a long time ago that in being in the moment, you place your heart and soul in alignment with the opportunity to experience and feel joy. To be in the moment takes constant work and practice on living with an open mind and an open heart.
Awakening to joy, seeing rainbows is a great balm to the soul when we learn to look to even the littlest things to fill our hearts and minds with love and gratitude.

Staying Green
April 25, 2013
A little rambling today…
It is my belief, that knowledge is free. What I learn, I share with others. I have long lived by the creed that there is nothing I can not learn from someone else. A long time ago, back when I first began a twenty year career as a Floral Designer, I attended a Floral Design Trade Show. The commentator said to the audience of hundreds of Floral Designers, young & old, paraphrasing a well known Ray Kroc quote, ” When You’re Green You Grow, When You Are Ripe You Rot!”
I strive to remain green throughout out the rest of my life!
