‘Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.’
– Maya Angelou

Short but sweet, I love this little optimistic quote!
I always try to be a positive person which is easier said than done, but whenever I see someone down I always try to cheer them up in some way. It’s amazing how one little act from a friend or a stranger can sometimes make you feel much better. 🙂

It sounds a bit dirty.
Right…..
Behave you two! Can’t leave you alone for a week while I go on holiday with no interwebs, can I!
I wondered why it had been so quiet on your end! That explains it, lol.
I know I know, we need our mediator back!
A lovely quote! I’ll take this to heart today 🙂
Thanks Lindsey, I hope it serves you well! 😛
Very sweet!
I agree!
What a lovely quotation and sentiment 🙂 And it’s often contagious as the person you cheer up will often cheer someone else up!
Thanks Letizia, I’m glad you liked it! It’s definitely contagious, that’s why I think it is so important. 🙂 When you make someone feel happy, it’s a domino effect.
I like to be the rainbow too – usually I try to make people laugh because laughter heals everything and keeps us young!! I have to add this to my list of favourite quotes :).
Heheee, rainbows are the best! And unicorns, can’t forget the unicorns. 😉 I completely agree, laughter is so underrated! To be rolling around on the floor in a fit of giggles is the best possible feeling. 🙂
As long as you don’t pee your pants LMAO!!!
OMG, yes! :S LOL, that would be awkward! 😛
You’re right – short and sweet yet superb and fabulous all the same! Being that one person who brightens a sad individual’s day is such a sensational, marvelous feeling.
I think it almost works better because it’s short, it doesn’t complicate things as much. 🙂 That’s very true, cheering someone else up also often makes you feel ten times better, so it goes both ways!
Angelou is an amazing woman. Every word from her is like gold…
I love this quote, but I don’t actually know anything about Angelou, by the sounds of it I should look into her more!
