Find A Rainbow Day

 April Celebrations 

Some days don't ya just wanna hop on your unicorn and fly somewhere over the friggin rainbow? - Anonymous

I've decided to go rogue this month.

In lieu of well-known and traditional full-bloom-of-spring celebrations, this series will feature lesser known holidays and observances in April.

Starting with National Find A Rainbow Day.

Each year on April 3rd, this observance challenges us to stop looking for a pot of gold and simply appreciate this colorful ray of hope cast across the sky.

To celebrate the day, find yourself a rainbow. (Spoiler alert: you'll never find one if you're looking down). Or use the garden hose or a prism to make one yourself.

If you're feeling crafty, how about cutting out paper hearts? Tint them with every color of the rainbow, then string into an arc across a glass window. You just may be that bright beam in someone else's cloud.

What are you waiting for?

Go find your rainbow.

May your day be more beautiful than a unicorn farting rainbows!
