Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head

Or, well, at least I am getting a strong feeling that our campout in two weeks will be a wet one! It is "supposed" to rain a few days before we go and rain is also in the forecast for when we're camping and hiking. So here is my quote for what I'm going to do about it:
The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I am going to try really hard and just go with it. We'll pack our extra tarp and dry clothes, too, of course, and lots of games to play inside the tent, which we don't think has any leaks. (fingers crossed on that one, kids!) Earlier this summer when we were camping, it poured and we ended up coming home early. I definitely don't want to do that this time, especially since the kids won't be along and I would be the only complaining, you'd never catch my husband complaining about something like rain! I don't want to waste what could be a fabulous trip with a little sogginess!
I'm asking for some adventure before I turn forty next year, and if it comes in the shape of mud and rain, well, so be it! I'm trying really hard to build up a positive attitude that lasts through the campout. I'll say my prayers and keep all fingers and toes crossed.

I feel like the fortune I got last night with our Chinese puts into words exactly what I've been trying to do with this new focus in my life! Not that I don't want to plan for tomorrow, because I definitely want us to be secure, but I do want to live how I've dreamed of living - now, not tomorrow or ten years down the road. I went to be an adventurer now. I want to love and live in the outdoors as much as I can now. I want to spend time in the wilderness with my family now.
My husband and son are going on a scouting campout this weekend and then next weekend it is my turn!!! I don't care if it is going to be wet, we'll have a great time loving the rain and weather and nature and Fall beauty! So I'm going to do it, now, not later and not never!
