Comment whoring & spreading some cheer - at the same time!

It struck me today that is it sad that most posts that get tons of comments are drama-based posts. We need more happy posts! We need lots of happy comments! I need lots of happy comments - let's beat my record!* So: a game!

Here's the game: Comment on this post with something that makes you happy. Choose something that you think most people have experienced or should appreciate more. Then, comment to all the comments that are about happy things you have experienced with a story or observation about it. Be detailed! Engage the senses! Share the joy!

Even if you are seeing this post days, weeks or even months or years after it was posted, play anyway. I get comments emailed to me, so I may still get your happy notes.

*I think the most comments I've ever had on one post has been about 45, on a question and answer post. I don't have a lot of drama on my LJ.

I love rainbows! I love the sky ones and I love the little ones in sprinklers and around waterfalls.

There was one day, when I was having a rough day at school, where I saw four rainbows in the sky at once! Three of them were one above the other, each one thicker but less distinct then the one below. The fourth one was opposite the others. It lifted my spirits so much to be surrounded by their fragile beauty.

The coolest rainbow I ever saw was driving through the Rockies two summers ago on my way to Alberta. We were driving through these amazing mountains and valleys, into and out of thunderstorms. At one point we saw a huge rainbow in front of super black sky full of thunderclouds, and then there was a strike of fork lightning behind the rainbow. Very cool.
