Here's one: stop whining and go paddling! :-) As my grandfather used to say, "Happiness lies not in having what you want, but in wanting what you have." The key is to *want* to paddle in the rain. Not to merely "tolerate" the rain, or to "not mind the damp" (as an author stated in WaveLength magazine), but rather to actually enjoy the rain, to relish its cooling effect, to enjoy the new perspective of paddling completely surrounded by water, to feel it tickle your face as you paddle into the wind... I can't wait for my next outing--I just hope that it's raining!
