My favorite movie is THE SOUND OF MUSIC by Rodgers and Hammerstein. I still remember my mother taking me to see that movie on the big screen. Little did she know that it was going to remind me to always chase my dreams. I remember thinking that I could watch Julie Andrews in the opening scene run up to the top of the mountain over and over. It is a beautiful scene and she seemed like she was on top of the world and could conquer anything. It is a beautiful love story that I have watched many times and have never grown tired of seeing it.
My favorite lyric from one of the movie songs is about following a rainbow until you find your dreams. I try to remember everyday to keep my own dreams alive and keep moving forward. Our dreams don't necessarily turn out exactly as we see them in our mind, but when we can hold onto them they give us hope to keep living.
I have many dreams that are still to be found at the end of the rainbow and I am chasing them with my husband. We together are blessed to have followed a rainbow that has brought us to a peaceful place in life and continue to find new rainbows. No life is without challenges, but everyone can follow a rainbow to their dreams. It maybe a little scary and we may not understand the obstacles in the way, but never giving up will be the greatest reward of all.
Laney followed her rainbow to find us and I hope all her dreams have come true. She seems to be at peace and has brought much love and peace to our world. I guess we both followed the same rainbow to find each other. I hope she is around to follow many more rainbows with us.
As the rain stops and the sun shines, look to the sky and follow the rainbow to your dreams. Life is beautiful !!
