Find a reason to be grateful for rain

This has to have been one of the wettest years on record in Scotland. As I write I am listening to the rain pouring down outside. Even my dog wanted to turn back when I took her out this morning. I have never seen the burn so full. Yet there are reasons to be grateful for it. For one, there are parts of the world where they haven't had enough rain to grow crops, so we are lucky. It keeps the country green for another, and means we have plenty of fresh water to drink. Now I am not nieve, and I do realise that so much rain brings huge problems too such as spoiled crops, and flooding but you have to try and find a reason to look on the positive otherwise why get up in the morning. For the time you are on this earth you have to make the most of what you are given, count yourself lucky and move forward. I have not had many reasons to smile over the last few years; but thanks to my kids I have a reason to get up every morning. So even when I am feeling low, I look at them and then try and find something to be positive about. Even when pouring is too weak a word to describe the rain outside, there are reasons to be grateful for it. One might be it means you can be inside learning a new skill, like affiliate marketing or copywriting. So you never know a rainy day could change your life.
