Best Rain Quotes and Sayings
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.
