I think that’s true.
You know how they say adversity is the foundation of virtue?
I think that’s also pretty accurate.
I mean, after all, it’s like they ALSO say: “Into every life, a little rain must fall.”
Right? Right.
Then again, some rainfalls are a little more squall-ish than others. Hmpf.
Ahem. But that’s the beauty of adversity, I suppose. You know, because after the torrential downpour comes the rainbows and gorgeous flowers …
And wicked pollen. And sticky mud piles. And grimy windows and spattered siding. And flooded basements. And attic leaks. And muck-filled spouting. Grrr.
