“For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is to let it rain.”
Henry Wordsworth Longfellow
This hits home with me today. Granted, the achiever in me will never be resigned to a total life of resignation, but as Kenny Rogers would say, we have to “know when to hold ‘em , know when to fold ‘em.” As my friend Russ Adams used to remind me, sometimes, when you find yourself in the desert, you just accept it and make peace with the desert. Or stated in Longfellow’s terms, okay, it may be raining, but I’ll do my best to stay dry, and the sun’s gotta shine sometime.
