Okay, I think The Sky Seriously Falling This Time

“Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass… it’s about learning how to dance in the rain!” –Vivian Greene

Wasn't I just talking about how it never rains in Souther California? I think I jinxed it because all of a sudden we're looking dead in the eyes of the biggest rain storm we've had in five years! More to the point, however, even if we are expected to get more rain in the next few days then we usually see in an entire year, we have little to complain about. Even if there will probably be mudslides and traffic jams and I'll probably ruin another pair of shoes sloshing through muddy puddles... we are still very fortunate. Compared to the horrible events taking place in Haiti right now, a little rain (or a lot of rain) seems like no big deal. So to all of my fellow rainy dayers, don't let something like the weather get you down. And if you're feeling tempted to get a little blue, channel that into something more productive like a prayer or donation for the poor people of Haiti who truly are suffering right now.
