I always feel sad on the first day of school. The long sunshine and freedom filled days of summer suit me better than any other time of year. Even now, as an empty-nester, I still feel a little sad as autumn approaches and days grow shorter.
Nearly every time that I have dropped one of my precious children off at a location that caused me sadness or anxiety; first day of school, sleep away camp, or college, I would look up into the sky and see a rainbow. I always felt that it was a sign that things would work out well.
Today is the first day of school for Palm Beach County school children. As I took an early morning walk with my greyhound, I enjoyed two rainbows in the sky. One was the largest I’ve ever seen and the other smaller. I hope there are parents who enjoyed the show…or maybe it was just for me and my first day back in the studio after vacation.
