Waiting for the senior care facility receptionist, I turned my attention to the great room — all sun and windows. The residents (most in wheelchairs) were engaged in the wellness therapy of stretching, movement and singing.
I caught bits of the song…”let the sunshine in….” which has fond memories for me of a friend and her granddaughter. They would sing that together while pulling up the shade on another day.
“These are beautiful!” the receptionist exclaimed, running her fingers over the colorful crocheted lap-robes that were spilling from the oversized bag onto the counter.
“I bought them at a fundraiser and I’m donating them. Checked each one and they are new, fresh, clean and ready to give.” There were 20 in all, bright and striped with rainbows of color, no two the same.
As I walked back thru the great room, I smiled, thinking of how the residents would soon be covered in “rainbows.”
Sharing our sunshine sure does encourage more rainbows. Perhaps, that is the true treasure?
*received this lovely note of thanks the very next day!
