6 reasons why I am thankful for rainy days in the summertime.

1. My polka-dot rain boots.

2. My inner 7 year old gets to gleefully splash in the puddles.

3. I get to dance in the rain. For maximum enjoyment, I highly recommend looking up and feeling the rain on your face while you twirl.

4. My grass turns bright summer green and my flowers get watered.

5. The possibility of a rainbow. Who doesn’t love a rainbow?

6. Blue-skied, sunshine-filled days always pressure me to go and DO something. Rainy days let me BE. If I want to read all day in an over-stuffed chair. Rainy days will not judge me.

Something to ponder from under your umbrella…”Those who believe only the sunshine can bring happiness have never danced in the rain.” – Unknown
