A sweet, small, personal-sized rainbow was waiting to greet me on my desk. Granted, it was just a simple refraction of light coming from the window and bouncing off a CD on my desk, but still. It is gorgeous in it's simplicity and I was thankful. For if I'd arrived at work just a minute later, I'd have missed it altogether. I had just enough time to snap this picture and smile at it for a moment. Then I turned my back to see if anyone else had noticed my odd picture taking tendencies... and it was gone. But, I have it here now and I know it will brighten up many other days for me.

Small Wonders
I wasn't in the best of moods today when I came to work. I dread the place and it always seems to put me in a bad mood just driving there. That, combined with sad news reports on NPR on the radio, the kids being a bit difficult before I left for work, and a minor spat with my honey, left me feeling quite a bit more down than usual when I came into the office. Luckily for me, though, I am easily brightened witnessing the beautiful miracles of nature...

the simplest things...so glad you saw it - just something for your eyes and your heart!!
A "personal-size rainbow"! How wonderful! It really is the simple things, isn't it? (And I feel you about the depressing-ness of news radio. I finally had to take a sabbatical from talk radio because it was affecting me so profoundly!)
SEVEN AM?! Dear christ.
