Rain

As John Ruskin put it, "Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."

It is only bad weather when you are caught in it, or when it interrupts with your plans. But hey....

If the rain spoils our picnic, but saves a farmer’s crop, who are we to say it shouldn’t rain? - Tom Barrett

A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. - Henry David Thoreau

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow. - Gilbert K. Chesterton

Life’s not about waiting for the storm to pass…It’s about learning to dance in the rain. - Vivian Greene

I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain. What a wonderful feeling, I’m happy again. - Arthur Freed

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Without rain, there is no life. - Jerry Yang

Give thanks for the rain in your life which waters the flowers of your soul. - Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Here are some images of stormy weather - images of the sky ready to open up. The good thing about rain in the tropics is that it is quite refreshing to walk in the rain, provided it is not thundering.

Some rain themed songs for your listening pleasure.

Rain – Madonna

Rhythm of the Falling Rain – Cascades

Laughter in the rain – Neil Sedeka
