Rain, Rain ... Stay

This morning brought about a welcome change---cool, gray clouds bursting with rain. Some might wish it away, but I revel in what rain allows us to do: nothing. Every day, we feel we should do something. And we should. But all the time? No.

Today I will take my baby daughter to the library and let her explore. Then we will come back and sit on the floor. We will watch Sesame Street because a little TV never hurt anyone. Rain gives us an excuse, even though we shouldn't always need one.

Thank you, Rain.
