During a recent dinner conversation, as we all looked outside at the rain coming down, my husband said “Isn’t it beautiful outside, everything is green!” Normally, he is the pessimist and I am the optimist. But on this occasion, our roles were reversed. “My feet were soaking wet for 10 hours today. I wish it would stop raining.” I complained. As dinner progressed, I looked outside a few more times. Yes, he was right, the rain was a blessing.
