It’s raining this morning in sunny Southern California and I’ve been standing by my open door looking out at puddles asplash with raindrops. I’m here for the sunshine, but soft rain never fails to stir my senses.

They said it couldn’t be done, that the drought was upon us. Dire predictions ensued.  One day of rain doesn’t end a drought, but it does remind me of an important fact of life: Things change.

Beware dire predictions.
