CHAPTER 7, PAGE 15

Start Your Own Rainbow

If your world looks gloomy

and you're feeling grim and glum

make a rainbow for yourself,

don't wait for one to come.

Don't sit watching at the window

for the clouds to part.

There'll soon be a rainbow

if you start one in your heart.

Take some lovely thought

out of a poem or a prayer.

Turn it over in your mind

and let it linger there.

Keep out every memory

that dims the light within,

And hold on to the magic word

that lets the brightness in.

Work your own small miracle

and make the dull days glow.

Put some sunshine into life

and let the glory show.

Make a rainbow for yourself

with colors brave and gay,

And underneath its golden arch

your careswill fade away.

GOOD MORNING !

Maybe there’ll be a rainbow for us here in Northern Ohio today ! The rain is supposed to change to sun somewhere along the way . Then we are going to get hot.

Hot as in the 90’s. I know that some of you are experiencing much hotter hot than we are, but you have to remember, we in the north, are just not used to this heat. We have so much cold, cool and cooler weather that when all of the sudden summer decides to share the warmth with us, it’s a shock to the system.

I know that a friend in California is having 106 degree weather…I can’t imagine what would happen if we had that here…we’d probably loose power from an overload with all the fans and air conditioners running.

It is Saturday morning and I’m slowly sipping the good coffee and enjoying this wonderful down time. It is a small bit of heaven!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

When summer turns to winter, And the present disappears, The laughter we were glad to share Will echo through the years.
