Morton Salt originated this phrase. Coming from this unlikely source it was used to sell salt that “poured freely even when the weather was damp”.
Also, it describes a common weather phenomenon in which, after there has been no rain for a long time, a lot of rain suddenly falls at once and the weather remains rainy for a while.
There are storms and heavy rain here today. Yes, in the real weather.
But have you been feeling like it is raining every day lately?
The world is full of Covid 19, risk, statistics, restrictions, new rules. A NEW NORMAL. While this can also bring a level of heightened attention to the news, personal caution, new habits, less sleep, and more home cooking, it brings balance too.
We don’t have to look far to find the “helpers”. From medical workers giving their all, to Uber drivers working for free, to close family members supporting each other in new and more attentive ways, we see our city, church, and country doing all it can to help us all STAY DRY through the RAIN.
On BALANCE, keep looking for the good soft rain all around us!
