I'm never going to stop the rain by complaining*
After a few days of clear blue skies and sunshine, the rain returns, or it will sometime later today.
Sunrise. 6:20 a.m.
Here in sunny California you'll hear a lot of complaints about the rain interfering with plans. Lighten up. We need the water.
We have rain off and on (and snow at the higher elevations) from about October/November through March/April followed by five or six months of straight, uninterrupted sunshine. What's to complain?
All those "gosh, I wish it weren't raining" gripes? I always had my suspicions that our long drought was caused by the negative vibes from a massive mental "gosh I wish it weren't raining" mindset.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
Everything changes. You can make

But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
