Is there really a pot of gold…

This morning, in the midst of a very dark sky, a rainbow peaked in all it's radiance and beauty.  I immediately had good thoughts of a great day ahead.  I was also taken back to my childhood (many, many moons ago), when we were told that there is a pot of gold at the end.  Of course, I wondered as I always do when I see a rainbow, if there is indeed a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and that prompted a whole slew of questions...like, How many people have actually gone looking?  How long have they been looking?  Has anybody r-e-a-l-l-y found the pot of gold?   Is the reward actually of good luck, and does it have any worth?  Is there really a Leprechaun dressed in a little green suit standing there ready to hand over the pot?  OR... Is it all just a metaphor?  Although my imagination ran wild this morning, I truly believe the thought of the "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow is to remind us to be hopeful in that no matter what trials and tribulations we face, when it's all said and done, everything will be ok.  If you ever find a pot of gold, you will get 3 wishes (legend according to Monica), so please wish for a seven figure dollar amount to be added to my bank account for me to use at My discretion.  JA
