When it rains it's no fun. But after a rain storm if you look up you can find a rainbow. A rainbow is the bright side of a icky day. It's important to learn to find the rainbow... or make your own.

My rain storm isn't actually rain outside, it's missing my art students. But I have a rainbow. You are sending me pictures of your AMAZING art. That brings my heart so much joy.
