Rainbow rescue. I was having an exceptionally overwhelming day. The dishes, laundry, papers, dust, and toys were piling high and I just wanted to cry. I actually tried to induce a cry because I heard that tears release negative hormones from our body and would relieve emotional pain. I couldn't cry, but I heard the sweetest voice from the other room call my attention that afternoon and it changed everything. Breanna found a rainbow on the floor. Her eyes brightened so much that her excitement set off my own happy feelings, thus a better day for me. The house was still in horrible shape, but that bit of happy energy helped me to deal with the stress a bit more. Thank you God for rainbows and young children.
