Life is a precious gift,
one that should not be overlooked.
We run through each day and forget-
forget to think of all the little things.
We forget to give a hug or just say thank you.
Remember that He gave up His only son for us,
we are here to share our life with others.
Share smiles, love, all that comes our way.
So when it comes right down to it.
Live every moment as though it was your last!

Yes a smile does help to make the rainbow appear. I love your positive attitude. It is very healthy and good for living life, not just existing as Orwell said in that quote prompt.
Thank you for the applause and your words so kind. They are greatly appreciated.

The quote was my inspiration for this and you are so right about all the negativity we see in the world. It is nice to have a breath of fresh air. I think this background they have for us to use was perfect for this as well. Thank you for the applause and your words so kind. They are greatly appreciated. seamaiden ♥
