Echoes of Elul: Day 11

In the last year, I, along with my family, have seen an incredible number of rainbows.  The rainbows remind us of my father, who passed a couple years ago, and seem to materialize in the most striking of ways.  When my son hit his first homerun playing baseball, as he rounded the bases, a rainbow appeared, also coincidentally on my father's birthday. One day I woke up feeling sluggish on a rainy day, a rainbow came out from behind the clouds, and renewed my energy.  Driving my daughter home from gymnastics, she was feeling down because of an elbow injury, and boom- double rainbow!  There are many other examples, but the takeaway is that there is good to be found in every situation, it is all about attitude. The glimmers are all around us, we just have to open our eyes.
