Whatever.
You know, personally, I love rainy days with this caveat... I don't want to have to go outside. I want to be able to enjoy it from the comfort of my {dry} house.... or bed. That's even better!
I prefer a soft, steady rain as opposed to a loud obnoxious storm, although in some cases depending on the mood I am in, storms are good too.
We need rain. We need the water and the damp and the gloom. It's what reminds us to be appreciative of those days when it's sunny and pretty out. To use it as a chance to remember that no matter what we are going through, what circumstances we are facing, at some point it always ends. Maybe not in OUR time but definitely in God's time.
We need to remind ourselves that we have to be patient and look for the lesson and, yes, even the blessings that rain can bring.
Sometimes it's in our darkest hours that we can find our greatest strengths. We can find our will to fight. We make those hard decisions and we learn to live with them.
We even move on.
You don't forget though. That is something that I have found to be impossible. But you do get to realize that with the bad, there is always good. Always a reason to say "Thank you."
I think we should each use our rainy days to the best of our ability. Even if the best we can do is just stay in bed all day and cry. But, just as the rain stops, we also have to stop and get up and face our days with the knowledge that God is fully in control.
Sing the song from Annie. If anything it will annoy the people around you and that in and of itself is a reason to smile usually! (Especially if it's your kids! Or your Boss!)
