I used to think

It's raining, it's pouring...

... that I could live in Seattle.

... that rain was soothing, no matter the quantity.

... that the weather didn't effect my mood, just my sinuses.

... that grey days were soothing.

I used to think all those things but not any more.  I've had enough rain, thunder, lightening and sogginess to last me a few months.  It has been this way since we got home from vacation.  I considered rain Florida's version of snow... now it's just dismal and I'm starting to miss seeing the sun.

As my friend said the other day - we prayed for rain, perhaps we should have prayed for moderation instead.
