My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky!

"my heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky
So was it when I was a boy,
So is it now I am a man!

So let it be when I grow old or let me die."

-Leigh Hunt

I live in Sun City.Arizona, a retirement community and too often I hear it said that young people are'nt up to the standards of days of old. I also hear that frequently in other sectors of society.These people don't have a clue.They are whistling Dixie.

This morning I saw a rainbow in the sky! I attended the Awards Convocation at Rocky High School in Fort Collins,Colorado.They are the Lobos. It has been a long time since I've attended an event that embodied so much enthusiasm, so much idealism, so much spirit,so many soul rendering musical reditions, so many heart warming hugs echanged between faculy and students as they were presented with their awards. My eyes welled up with tears of joy and pride. Perhaps I am not partial for I had the same joy in my heart as each award was given as the joy I received when My Granddaughter Rye received her numerous awards.

I'm telling you straight out, we're lucky that we don't have to compete with this crowd!

Their motto is a rainbow in the sky for each and every one of them and for everyone who has been fortunate enough to be touched by their lives!

"Oh the places you'll go!

You have brains in your head,

Yoou have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself any direction you can choose."
