Rain, Rain, Go Away!

This is the hot topic around NE Ohio...Rain! It is the first thing out of the mouths of everyone I run into. Such a shared experience cannot go unnoticed or create a positive mind set. 

We have been living in Brecksville for the past 8 plus years. Before that, Phoenix, AZ, the weather opposite of Cleveland! I remember praying for an afternoon of rain just to cool things off a little. Of course, when it did rain, the temperature pretty much remained the same. 

Don't get me wrong, Phoenix had its share of rain during Monsoon season, however, most of it washed away as the desert could not absorb the water fast enough. The sun always came out afterward and made me feel like I was in Miami instead of the Southwest. 

We cannot depend on the sun coming out here the next day or have control over the weather. As we have seen, it seems like more rain.

What we can do is be thankful that we are not in the center of the Great Flood of 2011 (according to the Weather Channel). We can say a prayer and help our neighbors in the Southern part of the US.

We can also change our mindset and talk about something positive to lift our spirits. How about those Cleveland Indians!
