July rainbow in Georgia Last week I was in Atlanta and it rained every day but Thursday, so that day was one to celebrate with a trip to the pool. The weather overall has been odd, raining all spring and a lot this summer. Up until recently, I have spent most of the few sunny summer days away from home at the beach, on a motorcycle, with my grandbabies, or at the pool soaking up that happy sunshine feeling that is essential to well being.
This morning I sang the warm happy feeling aloud to my six month old grandbaby just as I used to sing to my daughter, who now sings the same sunshine song to her children. When my grandson sang along "You are my shun shine" to his little sister in his precious 3 year old voice, my Grammie heart swelled. I had come to Mississippi a little subdued after recent heartache, so moments like those lift the clouds and shine light back into the dark corners. Hearts can be healed in so many ways other than the way they are broken. My attitude towards this breakup has been low-key and muted in comparison to the past, so I am weathering the most recent heart issue quietly and without histrionics. Even though I did cry a lot the first day and slept most of the second day, I got up that afternoon and have been moving forward since.
A friend of mine likes the song Every Storm Runs Out of Rain (by Gary Allan) and those lyrics seem to be appropriate for how I feel. I tell myself this too shall pass, I will have learned something, and when the storm runs out of rain, the heartache runs out of pain, I might even be left with a soft colorful rainbow.
Barefoot, humming,
and writing,
