How
much of life do we miss out on because we just don't want to get wet? It's like
an automatic reflex. The sky becomes overcast and we immediately start thinking
about reacting to some rain.
Why
is that? We go home and take off our clothes and climb into a shower or slide
into a bath. Aren't we getting soaked to the skin, literally? Is it because we
are wearing clothes that may be ruined if they get wet? My solution for that is
simple, on days when there will likely be precipitation, don't wear anything
that might be "ruined" by some of nature's liquid sunshine. That's
right, I called it liquid sunshine and, of course, that's not original.
Hey!
Have you ever seen the movie starring the late actor Gene Kelly titled
"Singing In The Rain?" The famous scene from that movie has Kelly
dancing and loving the rain as he sings the title song. Let a little kid out in
the rain. They love it. So, what's our problem?
Life
Is Full Of Rain Storms
As
Vivian Greene points out with her analogy to life, why do we allow the
"storms of life" stop us from dancing and singing in the rain. Don't
we know that behind every rain cloud the sun is shining? Sure, some rain falls
into everyone's life and sometimes they are storms, but life is such a gift.
Why do we let the storm clouds and the thunder claps distract us from the
sunshine we know is there. Okay, so I'm talking about having a positive
attitude, the glass is half full, every cloud has a silver lining and
"when it rains, it rains pennies from heaven."
Watch
the movie, "Singing In The Rain" and every time a storm cloud of life
rolls in, do your own Gene Kelly dance. Just make sure you're prepared and near
a "storm cellar" in case the occasional tornado or hurricane comes
along. But, they pass, too. What are your thoughts?
