WHAT SIDE OF A RAINBOW DO YOU SEE? This morning a dear friend, whose picture should be beside the word Positive, shared a thought on Facebook and it resonated me and brought some further thoughts from her message.

I thought I would address Looking on the positive side of the rainbow of life. We choose to be happy or not.

Let’s look at some quotes I found on the subject:
