After a beautiful week of sun and warmth, Monday begins with rain and cold. I can find beauty in this by remembering that April showers bring May flowers. The beauty that awaits us on the other side of gray can be appreciated even more deeply. The rain is a necessary part of the flowers growth process and so it is with us. Embrace the rainy days as tightly as the sunny days. They are both important parts of the whole.
