Rainbow after Rain!

Today I dropped my daughter off at school and almost reached the car when it started raining. I ran back towards her knowing that her hair was still wet from morning shower and wanted her to cover up her head while she was lining up to get in the class. Half way to her class the rain stopped. I turned back to go to the car, as I was getting  late for work and really needed to be on my way. That's when I saw the most beautiful rainbow that stopped me in my track.

I debated shall I go back and share the rainbow with her or shall I continue to my daily morning rush hour drive. It didn't take me long to realize that while I will continue to endure the morning rush hour for many many years, sharing that moment of pure bliss watching her beautiful face lit up with utmost joy will be the highlight of my day and possibly one of many memorable moments that I'll sit and reflect later on with a smile on my face. So I did. I turned back, walked up to her, got down to her eye level and showed her the rainbow. I wish I had a camera to capture her expression, the way her eyes widened and the smile covered her entire little frame.

What a beautiful start to an otherwise cold rainy day!!
