What's in a Rainbow
It’s no secret that rainbows are loved by everyone. When we see a rainbow bedazzling the sky, we cannot resist grabbing a picture. If it’s a double rainbow, you know we are sharing that picture with everyone we know! And rainbow puzzles? We can’t resist those either!
What’s in a rainbow that makes them so irresistible? Let’s get into it!
For starters, rainbows bring a feeling of freedom and joy. The moment we notice a rainbow in the sky, our happiness-o-meter starts to crank up and we feel better than we did just a few moments ago.

Rainbows provide us with a new perspective on life. As a kid, I was convinced that I could find the “end of the rainbow” and the “magic” waiting there, if I could just get my Mom to drive until we found where the rainbow touched the earth! Now I like to think about how that feeling of excitement, and the expectation of good things up ahead, is the real magic of the rainbow.

There was a time in my life when I felt alone and afraid in the world. Now I’ve come to realize that I am connected to many people who care about me and who support me. Even people I don’t know care about me as a fellow human. It turns out I am not alone, and knowing that I am supported by others is comforting and reassuring.
