Grey… not fifty shades, not five, just the funkiness seeming to envelope my daily routine. I wake to the alarm, get up, shower, dress, breakfast and head to work.

My alarm sounded. Expecting the usual grey in my depressed mind, I opened my eyes to see a little face smiling at me.

A kiss on the forehead from the little face and an, “I love you daddy.”

I sat up and hugged little face, “Thank you for bringing rainbows to my day.”

Some kind words and a loving smile can chase any grey from the world. Colour filled my day.
