Rainbows evoke happiness, bring smiles, provide hope, and even bring unicorns into view! Talk about a universal word, picture, and symbol!

We need to find them in our lives, work, and thoughts each and every day! This month I attended an educational training and learned that adjusting my diet to follow eating foods in the colors of the rainbow 🌈 would promote brain health! What an incredibly positive recommendation! It got me thinking happy thoughts until I realized chocolate is not a color of the rainbow…then I remembered white chocolate–that works!

Being a foodie, I came to ponder some favorites throughout my life, starting with my favorite cereal as a kid: Lucky Charms! The marshmallows looked like mini rainbows and the Leprechaun on the box was so happy playing in the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Next, I thought about a new favorite dessert; a yummy slice of rainbow cake! It makes my world brighter with each and every bite. What are some of your rainbow delights?

Bring color to your world; remember that rainbows unite us. The rainbow flag is used as a general symbol of social equality, diversity, individuality, and sharing what makes us unique and special.

All ages can create a rainbow, but I will say when children draw them, it makes you smile! Since the lockdowns in Europe started in March, colorful images of rainbows have appeared in windows across the globe. Our world’s children are using the rainbow symbol to remind us all they are hidden away, but hopeful during this pandemic, just like our seniors who are tucked away safely. Encourage rainbows in their windows!

Color your world and create your rainbows! Share them with the world! Take time to hum the melody “Somewhere over the rainbow...dreams come true...” and watch how many others join in!

Rainbows are a true sign of brighter things to come! You will never find a rainbow if you’re looking down!

Happy thoughts today - share your unicorns & rainbows!
