An observation made Thursday evening before all the pain began: There's something magical about rainbows. As a Christian this is so, but also just when you drive as much as I do there's lots of chances to watch for that surprising hint of color that blossoms into something amazing, or is amazing in it's own right, even if nothing happens to it. It's one of my favorite things in nature.
But the really, really weird thing? I drive 800 miles per week, hence observe a lot of weather. In the last 4 years, the years of my life I can remember, the ONLY times I have seen a rainbow have been on the way from (once to) see Dr. Mind. And during that time I have seen amazing things, like the day that I drove about 25 miles watching double rainbows both completely across the sky. Or the time I saw rainbows from 2 angles, also simultaneously (making me a terrible driver). And the weirdest thing? As a Christian I believe rainbows are a sign of God's promise, basically, to be there for us. And every rainbow I have seen in these last 4 years has been on a day that I cried.
(This post may or may not be a sign of things we will discuss soon).
About Me
- Just Me
- Over the years I have noticed that when I have the least hope a rainbow appears. Rainbows are a wonderful combination of beauty, hope, happiness and rain, the product of ugly grey clouds that hide the beauty of the sky. The beauty that is a rainbow can only come with the presence of both rain and sun. Such is life with bipolar disorder. There are good times, there are tough times, and there are rainbows to remind us that beauty will return, sometimes fleetingly and sometimes for a long time. This blog is my story of sadness and hope. Please scroll down to "Who I Am" under Pages to read more about me and the people who populate this blog.

I love the way you described rainbows: "that surprising hint of color that blossoms into something amazing." I had one of those "magical" experiences while driving a couple weeks ago. I've never seen this phenomenon: The freeway was wet and the spray from every car in front of me caused a small rainbow to touch the ground! This went on for miles and gave me much-needed encouragement.
Thanks for reminding me.
I'm so glad that Brenda's days are numbered! An enemy of yours is an enemy of mine!
Blessings, Michal
"I will praise the LORD at all times.
I will constantly speak His praises.
I will boast only in the LORD;
Let all who are discouraged take heart.
Come, let us tell of the LORD's greatness;
let us exalt His name together.
I prayed to the LORD and He answered me,
freeing me from all my fears."
Psalm 34: 1-4
