Episode 67: A Happy Thing for Every Color in the Rainbow
Mr. Roy G. Biv, paging Mr. Roy G. Biv? We make our way around the color wheel, and explore all kinds of colorful happinesses. The best color, as always, is your own personal favorite -- whatever that might be.

Spotting a bluebird through binoculars, following it as it flits away.
Fields of lavender, the smell so calming you could fall asleep right there.
A dozen Irises in a vase, standing tall and regal.
