I open drapes to see a bright rainbow its vibrant colors give my heart a lift. Sun rays peeping through dark clouds, I feel uplifted and I no longer feel low. Arbitrium Divisa Poetry Contest Sponsored by Gregory R Barden Taken from FRIENDSHIP AND RAINBOWS 5/29/19

they definitely lift me when I see one, shame we aren't seeing them at the moment the weather has been dire and in a week they have only got 2 lots of practice in for the TT races - the schedule is in chaos there was supposed to be racing today but the weather has put paid to that again!:-) hugs Jan xx

Positivity and humour are what gets us through, hubby only got 2 1/2 more weeks treatment, next week will be tough as he won't be home but we will get through. his cancer was a wake up call, materiel things mean nothing. if you dont have your health which is so so so precious:-) hugs Jan xx

Seen loads of Bikes on the Roads lately heading down to the Ferry Terminal on route to the I.O.M for the T.T. Weather or Sumner not been good this year so far has it . Last year was definitely a 1 off I think

Thanks Christopher, sadly the weather has played havoc with practices, only 2 sessions so far because of the poor conditions, they are going to try for practices over the next few days and re arrange the race schedule:-) hugs Jan xx

Good luck in the contest, but isn't it interesting the Irish look for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow rather then lift their eyes to the golden sunlight glistening in the rainbow? Aloha! Rico

oh what an interesting point of view, I know one thing for sure if you have your health you are truly the wealthiest person in the world - money means nothing so seeing a rainbow lifts my spirits and forget the pot of gold when we have sunshine :-) hugs Jan xx

this has such an uplifting feel... I am presently under a tornado warning (not an unusual occurrence for this part of Texas). Always glad to see the rainbow :)

Hope it passes by and you and your loved ones are safe, it must be terrifying to know it is on its way but not knowing where it will hit. hugs Jan xx
