It’s a great day here in Phoenix. Growing up n California as a kid, I never really understood the concept of summer rain. The weather was basically warm and pleasant. In Arizona, the summer gets hot–way too hot. It becomes incredibly unpleasant. A friend described an anecdote of making a quick run into the post office and returning to her car less than five minute later, the steering wheel too hot to touch. The spring, fall, and winter in Arizona are incredible.
The summer is brutal.
This year has been even more difficult as the summer rains were incredibly delayed. The heat continued to rise, unchecked. That began to change last night and has been nicely reset today.
There’s an actual breeze and regular visits of raindrops. The sky may be cloudy, but the weather is so nice–easily 25-30+ degrees cooler than it was two days ago. All because a little rain came in.
It’s as if the rain gets us back on track.
Do you have some “rain” in your life? Do you have something that resets you when you steer off course or when you are getting out of hand? Do you listen to them or do you continue down a bad path, making the world uncomfortable for those around you?
If there isn’t someone in your life who does this, find someone. The summer rain makes life bearable during the Arizona Summer
