When it comes to living with my clinical depression, mornings are usually my most challenging time. I tend to avoid an afternoon siesta because waking up from one is like experiencing morning all over again.After a few nights of mediocre sleep this week, I couldn't avoid a siesta Friday afternoon.
Less than an hour later, I was having another "morning." As I lay in bed with my eyes closed trying to talk myself into again facing the day, San Geraldo came running in from the terrace.
"I'm sorry to wake you," he rushed, "But you have to see the rainbow."
Thanks to San Geraldo, I was able to wake up where the clouds were far behind me.

DeleteIt painted rainbows all over my blues.
Now that was worth getting up for! Such beautiful intense colors. Wonder why that makes us happy? But I'm glad that it does.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteIt's such a magical thing to see.
Very pretty, worth getting out of bed for.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteSo worth it.
Sounds like that rainbow was serendipitous...
ReplyDeleteOptimistic:
DeleteEverything is serendipitous if we just let it be.
Love you and the rainbow 🌈 cuz!
ReplyDeleteSheree:

Mitchell what a great rainbow.. Take care and love from Upper Silesia
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteJerry always looks for rainbows. I'm so glad!
I'm sorry, but that San Geraldo is the sweetest thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course,a rainbow is good for a gay man to wake up to; it's our destiny!
Bob:
DeleteI wonder if straight people could even see it!
WOW! How beautiful is that!?
ReplyDeleteI mean beautiful that Jerry wanted you to share this sight with him and that it got you up from another 'morning' in no time!
Unbelievable paradise in which you live.
Jim:
DeleteWhenever there's been rain and the sun comes out, even briefly, Jerry immediately starts looking for a rainbow. What a guy!
Never miss the beauty of a rainbow!
ReplyDeleteDebrah:
DeleteI agree. They add magic to the day.
Gorgeous. San Geraldo is my hero. I wish you many more magical mornings in your unique and beautiful home!
ReplyDeleteElaine:
DeleteSan Geraldo is my hero, too, as I'm sure you've noticed.
If that doesn't fix clinical depression I don't know what will. I just saw a double rainbow here not long ago. But My pictures were not that good.
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteIt may not FIX clinical depression, but it's at least a great Band-Aid.
What a beautiful sight! I'm sorry you struggle with depression, but I'm glad you have San Geraldo in your life. What a sweet guy.
ReplyDeleteJennifer:
DeleteWhen managed, the depression is just another part of my life and personality. Rainbows (and Jerry) help!
Worth waking up for. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteIt rained a lot yesterday. I kept looking for rainbows.
Well, if that isn't a sign I don't know what is - a brief moment of respite from someone who loves you.
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteHe's my rainbow.
Beautiful rainbow. I want to swim right out toward it.
ReplyDeleteKirk:
DeleteThe way it extended right into the water was so magical. I wish you had swum out to find the pot of gold -- way too far for me to swim.
Beauty all around.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this inspiration.
xo
Robyn:
DeleteThanks for spreading it around.
You don't need that pot of gold at the end of either rainbow - you have San Geraldo!
ReplyDeleteWillym:
DeleteJerry is my rainbow AND my pot of gold. You're so right.
Wishing you countless rainbows, Mitch :-)!
ReplyDeleteJan:
DeleteAnd I wish you the same!
Physics dictates there is always a double rainbow if you would only look for it.
ReplyDeleteI think your partner a wise man indeed to wake you to see this marvelous site.
