Too many times I hear folks bark and complain about the rain. It makes people sad and feel smuggled by the chill in the air. Not I, It’s nature’s way of telling us  to slow down. I see colors come alive with life. The grass turns into a dark healthy green. Red flowers burst out with excitement saying “Look at me. Look at me.” Yellow and orange colors glow so much that they can lighten a darkened path. Puddles form, so raindrops can dance along the surface. They tap on the tree branches and make some of the most soothing sounds an ear can hear. It makes the plants and the earth explode with amazing fragrances. Rain brings beauty, not sadness. So next time you walk out that door and the rain is falling from the sky. Slow down and look around and see the beauty that rain truly brings.
