THE SIGN OF THE RAINBOW
~Jeanniebean There are always signs. When things were at their very worst in my life, during some of the most trying times, when I wanted to give up or cry, I would always see a rainbow. Because of what I had learned from Bible stories as a child about a rainbow being a promise to Noah after the flood, the sign of the rainbow always meant a promise to me that things would be alright or that things would get better, and all is happening for a reason. So the rainbow has always been a personal message of promise to me from God, or from my higher self, to not worry and to have faith. Last week I saw a full rainbow across the sky as I rushed here and there shopping for things for my Mom and my aunt. I remember wishing I had my camera to take a picture of it, but I did not have time. I wondered the meaning of the rainbow as I did not feel distressed or worried about anything, so I did not think much of it being a "sign." Still, full rainbow's were real rare. I could see it from one end to the other. People in town were coming outside of the stores to look up at it. The next day there was still a mist in the air and as I went out to run an errand, there once again I saw a full rainbow. A full rainbow two days in a row is a rare thing. So this time, I took note of the sign. It was telling me not to despair and it said to have faith. It did give me peace,as I went about my chores, wondering why I needed such a sign. This past week has been a very stressful one. I was very worried about how I was going to get my father to his doctor's appointment. He can't walk, and getting him down the steps and into the car is so hard on him and on me. I had been trying to get home health care to come to the house to check him out and help a little with his care but they would not do it without a doctor's orders. That night he got out of bed and fell and hit his head and we had to call 911. It was a blessing in disguise because we got the right doctor and the right orders and the ambulance took him to and from the hospital on gurney that night. I got the help I needed. But we need a wheelchair and a hospital bed and The Home Health care Nurse was doubtful about being able to get the bed. And we need it yesterday... not a month from now. We need to set up a room for him where we can get a wheelchair in and out of, but we needed a hospital bed. Now I know what the rainbow was telling me. Yesterday at the Fireman's auction, we acquired not one, but two electric hospital beds for ten dollars. Also, my other sister and her son will be here this weekend to help us set the bed up. I just want to express how grateful I am to God, the Universe and my higher self. I sat on the edge of my bed this morning and I looked up and said. Thank you. 
Thank you.
Thank you.
And thank you for the rainbows.

Rainbows are awesome.
 Moonbows are too. With the sun you can have a rainbow and with the moon you can have a moonbow. But the moon gets its light from the sun. When man got to outerspace he got to see Earthshine for the first time just like Moonshine from the earth. It makes me wonder if there could be an Earthbow. I can remember the first time my higher power let me know I could make my own rainbow with a garden hose. I felt like a kid again when I got to use my first prism. Reflected light is what we could all be to each other.

I've never seen a moonbow. I didn't know there was such a thing.
Can you see the stars where you are? I can. Every night I look up and I see the twinkling stars. I'm glad I don't live in the big city. I could never see the stars there.

Everytime I see a rainbow I always think to myself, "Hmmm? God must be sending a message to someone special".

For JB
You are a Rainbow Several years ago, I had an experience with a beautiful triple rainbow. Looking in a puddle on a semi-rainy day I saw myself but dimly imperfect, and muddy with other I wavered as the puddle did, as raindrops struck sending ripples out like waves of pain not quite shattering in shards distortions of my Image then I looked up-- What? Was that a flash of colour? Sun and Rain, Laughter and Pain I saw it melt together I saw it become One the Winds of Change blew in Waters of Healing and the lowly Dust became fixed and stable and was wrapped around by Her Transforming Light reflections and refractions I saw the sign of Hope, the symbol of Renewal I saw the Rainbow Bridge that crosses Heaven and Earth bringing the Sacred back to the Mundane and I realized that I AM RAINBOW I saw then my Image, with the ripples of Life's pain spreading outward, but stopped, healed, cleansed reflected and refracted away as Nature and nature connected the rain still falls, still strikes, still stings and I am wetted but no longer drowning and I went forth and had myself a Bright and Shining Multicoloured Day |

I hope you get many more rainbows along the way! |

Thanks friends.
I worked so hard today I ache all over. With the help of my little sister and her son, we got the hospital bed and room set up today and did a lot of cleaning and clearing away of useless junk. My how we humans pack things away. We are like pack rats. I have boxes and boxes of stuff... I don't know what it is, I have to go through to see if there is something important among the stuff we cleaned out of my moms house. I'm so tired, but we got a lot of work done today. My dad kept saying "I don't understand what is going on around here." He asked my Mom, "Do you know what is going on?" My mom said, "Yes I do." Then she looked at me and asked, "Why are we doing all this again?" 
I told her we had to rearrange things so I can get a wheelchair around the house and make it easier to transfer Dad to his bed and take care of him. I told her it was either that or he has to go to a nursing home. I told her I can't take care of him the way things are set up here now. It's just too hard! Then later when Dad asked her why we were doing all this, she just blurted out to him, "We have to or else you will have to go into a nursing home!"
Finally they settled down and the house is very clean and comfortable now. There is still a lot more work to do, but its getting there. I'm bone tired. JB |

Bless you for caring for your parents. Your a good soul. I will look forward to hearing more stories about your journey. Ya might think about putting a memory foam topper or egg crate on that bed. We've had one for my daughter for a lot of years and the mattress isn't very comfy!

That is wonderful you are taking care of them. Bless you is right. You sure deserve a break.

We've had one for my daughter for a lot of years and the mattress isn't very comfy! Yes I did that today. I got a memory foam, and a cushy mattress cover. Its pretty comfortable. He has been sleeping on a hard bed so I'm sure this one will be softer. He is not sleeping on it tonight because I want to get a camera set up in the room to keep an eye on him first. He forgets that he can't walk and tries to get up and then sometimes he falls, but sometimes he does walk a little. He can't understand why he can't walk. He has Alzheimer's and does not remember much. He lives in the moment. jb |

My sister Karen helps out a lot. She lives across the street. I will be getting a weekend off in October so I can go to an art show in Canon City. My sister sue is coming down to stay with them that weekend while I am gone. I used to work as a nurses aid for 3 years. I wanted to get the training just in case I ever needed it for my folks. I don't want to see them in a nursing home. I know what goes on in those places. Even the best ones are sometimes not a good place to be. jb |

We got good news today about my Dad. Tests confirm that he has a urinary tract infection which could improve in a week with the medication we have put him on. This means that his problem is not just old age, it is something that may improve.
We got a special room set up for him with a hospital bed, t.v. etc. in case his condition gets bad enough that he has to move from the room with Mom. It may never come to that if he gets better, but now I can sleep in that room and be closer to them at night. Its been a busy and tiresome week but we got a lot of good things accomplished and I am feeling more relaxed. I got a good nights sleep last night for the first time in a week. Thanks for the prayers. jb |
