Fleeting, like a rainbow

    Today I tried to take a picture of this great view of a rainbow however, my camera didn't have a batterie, but luckily I managed to take some shots with my phone before I rushed back in to retrieve the batterie. Once back outside I noticed it was already fading away. That got me thinking. How is it something that is such a great part of life can be so fleeting?

    Then again when you think about it the truly best things in our lives are like rainbows, for they to quickly fade away allowing us a brief moment of bliss. It's the people and things that aren't always around, but when they are we just become better people because of them. If a rainbow was visible every second of the day it wouldn't be as special as it is to us. The same applies to the other things in our life. While we may never want to lose them, or let them go, and we just want to avoid the pain their absence brings we have to know that all of that makes them all the more special during those brief moments we get. 

    So enjoy life during those times, and then hold on to the precious memories when you're down. And remember another rainbow is just down the road.
