There was a beautiful rainbow outside work this evening. A full arch of glowing colours across the sky. It's no exaggeration to say that it actually stopped me in my tracks as I was walking through reception. If anyone was amused (or outraged) that I walked out of the building to look at it for a while then they didn't mention it.
I think that everyone should take more notice of the beauty around them, whether it's in the ochred gold of Autumn's colours, the defiant piping of the first birdsong of the morning or a pair of shining eyes over a happy smile on a pretty face.
There's so much beauty all around us all the time, if only we stop to see it. It saddens me that people become jaded and tired and never notice the simple things.
Try to look at the world anew every day, to see the wonder in everything that shines or flies or swims or walks.
Never let go of that feeling.

What is it about a rainbow? It never fails to give pleasure - "My heart lifts up", as Wordsworth (oh blimey, CBATG so hope I'm right) put it.
I agree too many peps walk around with their eyes shut. Not many people ever look up any more. Glad you okay, fab about your perm job, good on you.
