Bright Spot: A rainbow

I closed my car door, grabbed the wheel, closed my eyes and took a deep breath. 

This meeting had been my tipping point. 

I began to drive home, eager to end my day. 

My body had been harboring the stress and intensity from the week and was about to boil over after this meeting. 

Deep breaths were the only thing keeping me from spilling over.

That was until I saw the rainbow, backlit by a cotton candy sky.

I could not recall the last time I had seen a rainbow, so my instinct was to take a photo.

I couldn’t help but smile.  My body had relaxed a little bit, just at the sight of it.
