These inspirational rain quotes and sayings prove that there are many reasons to love the rain, and probably just as many to dislike it. It all depends on your perspective.
A rainy day can make you feel sad, happy, comfortable, or inspired. While a good soaking might change your mood, it can also reinforce how you’re already feeling.
After a rain, sunshine usually follows. So, keep you’re head up and be grateful for the life-giving nature of raindrops. And, if all else fails, grab an umbrella before you go outside — and singing in the rain is encouraged.
