Rainy days and Sunshine

Rainy days and Sunshine

I live on Vancouver Island – it is a beautiful place.

We have had exquisite weather the past few days with many ‘pinch me’ moments.

It rains sometimes, but not today.

My daughters live in neighbouring provinces and they are both growing weary of experiencing more than their share of rainy weather lately.

Recently, “Kid of a Chef” sent me a text stating:

“I am eating chocolate covered strawberries for lunch.

I am quite certain that is the reason why the sun just broke through the clouds and the birds are singing.

For the sake of the city and reducing flood water damage, I might have to eat the whole package!”

Now – that’s positive thinking!

Don’t let the rain stop you from creating a great day.
