When I saw this quote, I automatically liked it for quite a few reasons. For one, I like any quote that has anything to do with rainbows. Call me childish, but I find rainbows to be cheerful and uplifting. They never fail to put me in a good mood. I also think it's a great metaphor of finding something good in everything... including negatives. It's quite true. If you have the right attitude, you CAN find happiness in the darkest of times.
This post is also being written as a challenge, of sorts... my dad doesn't think I can actually write a blog post about THAT quote. I beg to differ. I think that happiness can be found all over, if you have the eye for it. It's like photography, to be honest... as long as you have an eye for beauty, you can make the simplest thing seem beautiful. With the right perspective, anything can be. And the same stands for happiness. I choose to find happiness in small things and in sad things. For example... when the internet goes down, I use it as time to either a) go outside and lose myself in the woods alone for a bit to think or b) play with my dog or sister and bond to them. These periods can be annoying, since I'm so used to having constant wifi... but it's good to have bonding time with my family as well. Using a smaller example, I love thunderstorms and rainstorms because then I can go outside barefoot and run around in the rain and splash through puddles. Also, rainbows. At this point, anyone reading this who doesn't know me probably thinks that I'm either very very immature or just flat out insane. I promise you I'm not! Go try it sometime... the thunder can be very soothing if you just let your stresses go and focus on LISTENING to the sounds around you. I challenge ALL of the people reading this... next time it starts raining and thundering out, go stand outside in it and let go. Listen to the noises around you and relax yourself. Wow... this post started off on a quote and is ending on the beauty of thunderstorms. I guess I CAN write lengthy blog posts about completely irrelevant things. Or maybe I'm just good at rambling... I honestly don't know and at this point, don't care. Good night, everyone. Maddie
