Random Rainbows
All the time when driving down the road I spot a random rainbow in the sky. It’s not one of the follow me to the gold types, but a small little smidgen of what it has the potential of being. It’s like its playing hide-and-go-seek in the clouds. Days that I spot these random wonders, I always smile. There are times when I’ll see one a couple days in a row, and then it’ll be weeks or months before I see another.
I feel a connection to these rainbows. I spiritual one that lifts me up when I’m feeling annoyed or frustrated by something ridiculously unimportant that day. It puts things back into perspective a little for me.
I think the New Year is supposed to bring that perspective feeling as well. A re-evaluation of what’s really important. It is for me, I think about what is important, what will make me happy, what I want to accomplish. It’s not always a good feeling when things are re-evaluated, but it reminds you of where you wanted to go.
I was making a list of things that would make me happy. My car is broken once again, so a new, or at least continuously working, car is on my list. It’s one of those frustrating necessities that you need when you don’t live near a bus line or want to spend money on a taxi every day. I say we should just go back to horses.
Besides the car though, there were reminders on the list of what I really wanted for myself, spiritually, emotionally, and professionally. I had to frown because I’ve been putting the same items down for years and never have followed through or something has stood in my way. Is it a fear of striving for something different of those around you, or maybe its fear of cutting people out that hold you back, or is it just laziness? Maybe it’s a mixture of everything, but I hope I gain the strength to put myself on the paths that I want and I pray that they’re the right paths.
Who knows, maybe a random rainbow will show up again and tell me to rethink my direction.
