Create Your Own Sunshine

Last couple weeks (what seems like forty days and 40 nights) we were gifted with gallons of rain--one evening we had over three inches in just forty-five minutes. Yeah, yeah, gardens and yards need a lot of rain, but we far surpassed that needed quota, at least we did in our yard. Too much rain day after day has been known to evoke a four-letter word or two. But then we remembered our motivational quote from a few years ago: “Create your Own Sunshine.”
Bill: Have you heard of the “Optimistic Rain Dance”? You dance around an umbrella and pray for rain. Its analogous to the famous “Mexican Hat Dance” where you dance around the hat and pray for hair. Of course, individual results may vary.
More importantly, will rain quench my dry sense of humor? Will rain rain on your parade or wash away your stress? Side note: rain doesn’t fall everywhere all the time--I knew a guy in high school that was so skinny he had to run around in the rain just to get wet.
Sheri: Good news is that after rainfall, the air has fewer allergens. It definitely has a positive Impact on respiratory health. And most importantly, without the rain there would be no rainbows…
Mostly we just need to remember to create a little sunshine on rainy days. After all, Noah had to deal with a lot more rain than we ever have, and he was able to set a personal record to be proud of in a really bad rainstorm.
So put on a smile and enjoy the cleansing and rejuvenating effects next time it rains and create a little sunshine of your own!
