Good ol’ Granny! Making the most of what’s happening is the only healthy way of coping. Resentment and misery just make a bad situation worse. Some of our best days out with the kids have been down on the beach (appropriately dressed) during stormy weather. There’s an exhilaration that’s missing from those lazy days in the sun. β€ π :3

You hit the nail on the head, Trish. We can’t STOP the rain when it comes, but spending the day at the beach regardless is a great way of letting it know you plan to have fun, regardless! Here’s wish you a wonderful, SUN-filled weekend, spent doing all the things you love to do, with all the people you love to be with! π€β€οΈπ€

Beautifully said, Liza! Having lost a good friend recently, I’m reminded daily that life is short, and we should get the most out of every minute! Or as we used to say in the old days, don’t sweat the small stuff … and in the grand scheme of things, it’s pretty much ALL small stuff!
I particularly like your advice that we should share our umbrellas, too! Are you sure you aren’t related to Granny?

So, so true, Marcia. In the midst of our struggles, we forget to dance. But if we can do a few moves, miracles occur. Thank you for the reminder and the smiles. β€οΈ

Dang, this is prescient; I just revised a picture book manuscript that ends with a kid dancing in the rain.
I hope that means publishers will wanna buy it!

I’ll just bet that’s exactly what it means, Mike! This is a SIGN! Probably. π
Here’s to dancing in the rain while publishing books. (Wait. That sounds messy. π But you get my drift.) I can’t wait to check it out as soon as it becomes available, even though I’m guessing it probably doesn’t include any dancing capybaras, rain or no rain. It’s still bound to be great, and I’ll want to get it for my granddaughter.
Wishing you much success with your publishers! π β€
