Isn't that beautiful? I have been doing a TON of yard work lately. On Friday it rained. It rained a lot. We needed it. I had just received another box in the mail from Breck's Nursery and needed to get the plants in the ground. I did...in the rain. I'm sure (if I could understand Spanish) I would have heard the workers next door laughing their rear ends off at my expense. I'm so tired of having people outside my front door each and every day. There is no peace. I find it is best to garden at 9 p.m. but this just isn't feasible. In the midst of feeling angry I looked up in the sky to discover a FULL rainbow. At the end of the rainbow was my lovely new home on the Knob. It takes more energy to be hateful and mean. It makes me stew and brewed and make a small problem into a huge mountain. I get so mad and play out different ANGRY scenarios in my head. My Wichita BF just put a quote up on her wall by Theodore Roosevelt, "Comparison is the thief of joy." Well said Mr. Roosevelt. How often we compare ourselves to others. How often we get ticked off about things that have NOTHING to do with us. How often we stew and brewed over things we don't need to be concerned about. I was glad God put that rainbow above my house. Keep it real. Keep it simple. The people at the end of that rainbow are the best things in my life. I need to be grateful and appreciate the here and now. I need to thank the Lord above for all that I have and I have everything I could possibly need...and so much more! I was glad I had a glimpse of the promise. His promise to us. What a beautiful sight.
Okay, I'm stepping off my soapbox.
Remember what Mr. Roosevelt said.
