Rain, Rain, Go Away

Here in the Northeast it's raining again. It's cold too. I can see from my phone's app that what we have in store for us today is...clouds, (I'd insert a visual here if I knew how), more clouds, and between a 30-80 % chance of rain from 11am until after midnight, or basically forever. Apparently, reportedly, tomorrow the sun will shine and we'll go up to 57 degrees. But today it's rainy and the temp will hover around 40-ish. Blah.

Hey, I was raised in Rochester, NY and this was normal for us. You know, "Rain-chester." I should be used to it. But I'm not and neither should you! What to do? What to do? Well, there's work and school and volunteering and exercise and eating and playing and planning...but really?

What am I motivated to do today during the sogginess? I WILL go to work and you likely will do your thing too, but how are we going to thrive today considering the weather is clearly conspiring to keep us all in bed with the covers over our heads?

I'm laughing at myself because, as I write this, I'm realizing I've become that person. I'm that person complaining about the ONE thing over which we NEVER have control. The weather. 

Back to thriving. Truth be told, we can all thrive whether it's raining or not. Whether other things in our life are delightfully in order or not. It's all about attitude. And I'm about to change mine as I brew up a tasty cup of coffee...even though I can no longer pour in that creamy half-and-half. Attitude! Almond milk is just fine (really?) and rain helps bring flowers. And, listen! I hear the birds chirping. Welcome Spring. Attitude.
