Highlights

* Sunspreader  *

* Reflections in tea *

* Flashes of color *

* Light coming in through the curtains, reflecting off the mirror and lighting up my sister's jewelry. *

(I'm sure it's happened many times during the winter, but I never noticed until now!)

* Sparkles and rainbows from earrings *

      It's rather curious how you get used to things and stop noticing them after a while.

That sun catcher for instance; it's been in our room for several years and I remember the excitement I first felt, after admiring them in other houses for the longest time,

"Yipeee!  Now we can have our own rainbows every day!"

 Yes, I'm sure I checked it at least ten times a day, checking to see if the angle was right for rainbows to 'dance' on the wall.

Then, sadly, tragically, it ceased to constantly intrigue me, and more or less disappeared from sight.

My sight anyway; as it still hangs from the corner of the bookshelf as it always has.

The weird part is, if I see one in the store or at a friends house, I'm quick to admire, sigh, and wish that we had one. Then, duh! *smacks forehead* I remember I do have one.

But that's the way it is most often isn't it?  I found this quote the other day:

 "Jealousy is when you count someone else's blessings and not your own." ----Unknown  

And thought it was very fitting as jealousy, envy and covetousness all come from "Wanting what you don't have, and having what you don't want." ---as a good authoress who's name escapes me at the moment once said.

So, enjoy your rainbows and reflections and " If you can't find the bright side... polish the dull side!"  ---Anonymous

(She's  also hoping the sun will come out so she can experiment with  her bokeh filter since the sun hid last time.)
