And the rain came down!

Yes, they say that we are in drought but its hard to reconcile that with the continuous down pouring of rain over the past few days. As mentioned previously, we are experiencing our 4th winter storm in recent weeks, with snow and driving rain greeting many communities down along our south east coast and inland from there.
It's easy to remain planted firmly in front of the heater, staring out at the rain and wish we were in Queensland. But what about getting out there and enjoying a little inclemency in your life? Isn't that what a rain jacket is for? We might think about how wonderful it is to feel the fresh weather in our face, to take in the smell of damp earth and almost hear the trees and grass rejoicing in the moisture and nutrients that they can now take in ... to survive!
For us mere mortals, water is the core of life! We are 98% water, or something close to that. Therefore, don't despair at the weather, see it as the essence of LIFE pouring from the sky! Wow, that would be wonderful to contemplate.
So, maybe, its time to dust off the jacket and gloves, pull on the wellies, and venture into the rain. Smell, listen, look and enjoy the experience of rain!
Have a GREAT day!
