Hmmmmm . . . Humidity or Rain?

I have to say. I'm not too impressed with our July weather. If it's not sticky humidity it's clammy rain. How about just some heat, some sun? I apologize if I sound like I'm complaining, but I am!! Forgive me, I don't usually complain too much. I'm forever the optimist for the most part.

Having said all that, perhaps the solution is to adopt the mind of a child. Typically on a rainy day like today I would keep my boys inside to play. After all, they're going to get soaked if they go outside in the rain! There was one day when I "lightened up" and said, "What the heck! Sure you can go outside and play in the rain!" I'm so glad I did that! The sheer joy and delight on my boys faces were priceless as they danced in the rain. It was such a gift to hear the squeals and giggles. And I captured the moment with my camera.

I once heard an inspirational quote that went like this.

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain. ~Author Unknown

And my favourite quote about dancing in the rain.

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…it’s learning to dance in the rain.”

Are you game to try dancing in the rain? I plan to at the next opportunity.
