Day 22

This week we have seriously been POURED on, I'm talking more than 2" in the last 24 hours. That is a lot even for Oregon. But the other day, I saw this rainbow. I was reminded that without the rain, we wouldn't have those.

I was also reminded to enjoy the rain by a preschool cartoon called Ni Hao Kai-Lan. I know it sounds silly, but bear with me. The show starts out with this girl and all her friends talking about what they were going to do in this beautiful sunny weather, they all had different things they wanted to do. Then, you guessed it, it starts to rain.

They are all bummed that they can't do the things they wanted to. But Kai-Lan's grandpa shows her that there are fun things to do in the rain, then the ducks show her some more fun to have in the rain, and all her friends soon realize there are lots of fun things to do in the rain.

Its a kids show, give me a break, but the point stands. How often do we just look at the rainy day as this blah, now I can't do anything kind of day? Why not take the rainy days (like today) and seize the opportunity to do something fun in the rain (maybe even with the kids) =)
