The Rain

When I was younger, I would play out in the rain all day if given the chance. I loved watching it, feeling it, smelling it! When there were storms, my Mom would grab some blankets and we would sit out on the porch together. Yesterday I really wanted to go walking, but because of the rain I had decided not to. I sat there, looking out the window watching the rain and wondered..... when did I become so afraid to go out in the rain? I got up, put on my tennies, grabbed the dogs and walked our 3 miles. I was rejuvenating! I had to stop myself from smiling the whole time.

“And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.”
