The Simple Things
'Rain and sunshine together make a rainbow.'
A quote from the Fizz tweenies video my daughter has watched so many times she now can play and talk along with the video using her Tweenie dolls to act it out. I swear this girl is going to turn into an even bigger geek than me one day. Anyway one of the things she absolutely loves about that video is the rainbow. But as Jake says 'Where's the rainbow? I've never seen a rainbow' (Yes she has seen it so many times even I can quote from the video now) I don't recall her having seen a rainbow in real life. That changed today and all because of me.
On the way home from work I stopped by the local supermarket to get a few essentials. Essentials including a couple of bottles of Diet Coke. To my Better Half that is. She can't live without her Diet Coke apparently. Anyway I was just about to go throough the doors when I saw the biggest, brightest rainbow I can recall seeing. Immediatly my mind went to my daughter and how she would love to see it. And thanks to the miracle of the mobile she could. I was straight on my mobile to my Better Half to tell her and she immediatly took our daughter to look out of the dining room window to see if they too could see it.
The result? A very excited little girl who once I got home couldn't wait to tell her daddy about the beautiful rainbow she had just seen. Also one very happy me. A simple thought, a simple thing and a happy face results. Life rarely gets better than that.
