Have you ever felt like you were chasing a rainbow? You keep driving towards it, trying to find the end of it. 
These are some snapshots that I took while on the way to work at Fort Carson, Colorado one morning. It seems like the closer I got to the rainbow, the further away it moved.
It occurred to me that chasing a rainbow is similar to saying, "If only ______ happens, then I'll be happy."
"If only I were a little older, then I'll be happy."
"If only my kids were a little older, life will be easier."
"If I could just get this one pay raise (or home sold), then everything will be ok."
Waiting for the "if only's" in life to happen is like chasing a rainbow. If happiness is based on things happening, then happiness can seem elusive.
I hope that you have a wonderful day today by simply appreciating today for what you do have. Appreciate today for what it is. Not what you wish it could be.
By the way, Colorado is a great place to chase rainbows.....
Colorado: See It. Experience It. Live It.
