Finding Light in the Rain

1 May, 2026

It has been raining for most of the past week—not heavily, but unpredictably. The kind of rain that comes and goes, making it hard to plan around.

I think many people would have their complaints about this kind of weather, and I did too at first.

Until I started noticing the rainbows.

They’ve been appearing more often than usual, perhaps because the rain pauses just long enough for the sun to break through. That brief meeting of rain and light creates something unexpectedly beautiful.

It made me pause.

I was reminded that everything has two sides, and this was a simple but clear example. What felt inconvenient at first began to feel different—softer, even welcome.

I’ve come to appreciate this kind of weather more than before. There’s something comforting about driving through the rain while knowing the sunshine isn’t far away.

Sometimes, it’s just a matter of noticing where the light is.
