Overheard today as I was walking around campus, "If I hear 'April showers bring May flowers' one more time, I'm gonna steal their umbrella and kick it through the goal posts in memorial stadium."
It took a lot of restraint not to laugh at that girl's statement. I like rain, I don't love it, but for the most part I like it. I grew knowing that a complaint about rain would mean that I would hear, It's good for farmers, and good for us! Of course, my real enjoyment from rain, is just playing in it. All it takes is a couple hours in the wetness with friends, and the rainy day blues are gone.
Last night, a couple of my roommates and good friends decided to set aside our studies and go back ten years. Back to a time when getting wet and muddy in the rain was the greatest adventure a day could provide.
Finding the positives when life gives you rain means thinking outside the box. When Mother Nature gives you actual rain, put on some shorts and flip-flops and find your inner child!
