Birthday

Today was my birthday. Just like any other day really, all the usual running around, plus James had classes so we weren't able to celebrate or do anything special. I was fine with that, I know we'll go out for dinner at the weekend, but towards the end of the day, I confess, I started feeling a little sorry for myself. After a drive home with bickering kids, I was even irritated and frustrated. Then I got out of the car and caught a reflection in the window of the car I had parked next to.

I have never seen anything like it, it was a rainbow in the sunset. It literally took my breath away and my heart started to beat a little faster and I knew it was a special birthday present from God to me. I have always loved rainbows, they bring me such hope and joy and each one feels like a gift to me and this one, for my birthday was extra special! Sure everybody got to enjoy it, but it was for ME, I have no doubts about it. My mood was lifted instantly, as I ran for my camera, which of course was woefully inadequate to capture such an amazing sight, but I will never forget it! Best birthday present ever!
