Can You Find the Beauty in the Rain? :: Finding the Beauty in What We Can't Control



“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.” -Mary Jean Irion

Welcome! Today, I was asked a simple but poignant question my sweet and wise friend: “Can you find the beauty in the rain?” she asked. This was in response to my continued complaint about our wet weather. It was to the point where even the sound of rain was bothering me. “How is that possible?” She asked me. “So many people fall asleep to the sound of the rain.” After a pause, I realized, she was right! I was looking at the day in completely the wrong way. Her advice shifted my mindset 180 degrees and I decided to start looking for the beauty in the situation instead of wallowing in the wetness. I hope this video encourages all of you to find the beauty in whatever situation you are in right now. Come with me today to find the beauty in the rain. 🌧 Enjoy!

  1. Beautiful! I love this! I love rain in general, and we don't get a lot of it where I live in zone 6….but lots of snow…which I hate. Rain is my favorite element I think. 🙂

    Update: I decided to pause the video and go look at my garden in the snow to find the beauty. When snow first falls, it's BEAUTIFUL, but then the plows come and then cinders and salt and dirt and it just looks gross. In my garden, birds drop things on it and things fall out of the trees and it also just looks dirty. But I looked and found shasta daisy leaves trying to grow up through the snow. My kitty's tiny paw prints are ADORABLE in the snow! The water and ice coming out of the drain pipes is wonderful. The ice is especially beautiful! Like crystals. Mostly I'm just excited about the bulbs that I planted this last fall, and all this snow is making them happy so they can be beautiful this spring!
    Thanks for helping me to change my outlook Janey! 😉 ❤❤❤

  2. So glad you did this! I was starting to feel the same way… we’re supposed to get a break today🤞. loved the sound of the rain on your umbrella…but the green house! Hands down the best.

  3. Put on those muddy boots and go walk through the deep puddles. Be a kid again and get your boots washed off effortlessly. 😁

  4. Capture some of the rain from the that down spout in gallon jugs and water your house plants with it . They will thank you for the drink of non chlorinated water.

  5. We enjoy your channel. We also live in your 9b growing area. You give us new gardening ideas. While I was dating, my photographer husband to be, 57 years ago, Arthur shared that colors are brighter when the sky is grey. I've enjoyed that thought all these years.That was present in your video today.

  6. Hi Janey 🌺your garden looks so beautiful . Good rain l like to go in the rain walking to my parents house . Have anice and sunny days .🌻 🎄🌻

  7. Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom. We cannot control the weather as I know very well living in Florida. You are in my prayers for the rain to stop. Stay safe 💕

  8. The rainy season has always been a favorite of mine. I grew up in Arkansas and loved our rain when I was a child. Opening up my bedroom window and reading a book while listening and watching it was so comforting to me. So glad your friend turned your thinking around to see the beauty in every season. Praying the rain doesn't damage but refreshes and heals.

  9. Janey, I love listening to the beautiful sound of rain! It makes me feel at peace. Here's a thought, why not put your muddy garden boots outside and let mother nature wash them for you! Your friend that gave you a new perspective, is definitely a keeper! ~Margie🌧☔🌺🌷

  10. I love the sound of the rain ☔thank you for sharing that video,we have to thank God for everything.

  11. I loved your vedio and thanks I will do same , go in my garden today to see the beauty in this winter weather

  12. I live in Juneau, Alaska which is in a temperate rainforest and we had 88.31 inches of rain in 2022 so… 😂

  13. Just know that when the rain stops and the sun comes out your plants will scream of happiness. Unless the rain drowns them. Jk. 😊

  14. THANK YOU for stopping today and encouraging us to find the beauty in the rain! The sound of rain is amazing!

  15. Your garden is going to be beautiful this spring and summer. The flowers and plants love rain water.
    Every time it rains my plants grow extra fast. They look beautiful 😍

  16. Thank you Janey! Of coarse here in Manitoba we are under snow so the sound of the rain was beautiful! All our trees here are covered with rime ice. It’s similar to hoar frost but forms when moisture from fog settles and freezes on a cold surface. Hoar frost skips the moisture stage and only happens on a clear night. Anyway it is simply beautiful here right now, and I’m really appreciative of that treasure! I hope your basement will be fine! 🇨🇦

  17. You should have put your rain boots on. The rain would have washed away all the mud besides then you would have had the proper footwear to play in the puddles!

  18. “No rain no flowers”😊🌧️🌸 I absolutely love the rain but this “bomb cyclone” has been a bit scary. The wind was horrendous Thursday night. I lived in snow before and it is beautiful until it begins to melt and gets all dirty in the streets and berms lol but sitting in the house with your coffee watching it cover everything and the silence of it snowing are some great memories. Everything always looks so much more green and vibrant after the rain. Best time to take photos! My favorite anyway. I love watching the birds out in the rain when there’s a slight break in the storm! Your flowers look happy. 😊stay safe Janey

  19. It is hard when it rains so much for so long. But you need it. So do many of us around the Country. Enjoy. It will stop raining and then it will be where is the rain??? 😆

  20. I live in Santa Barbara. We don't get rain often and I so appreciate it when we do and I know my garden will look so much more beautiful after a few days of good rain and that always makes me happy. Somehow they like rainwater better than the water from the hose, even with fertilizer

  21. The rain is the most beautiful thing for those on a domestic well. Especially in the parched Central Valley where wells have gone dry. Gardening is not an option when your well is going dry…. Bring on the rain, God, we welcome as much as you want to give us!❤

  22. Thanks janey. This opened my eyes on looking for the positive in any situation. Blessings to you and tell your friend thanks also.

  23. Janey, I usually watch your channel on my morning break & very much enjoy all of your content. I’m excited to follow your journey in Master Gardening 🪴😀 I just have to say that this video was so calming. Its like your beautiful garden was washed clean 🌧& ready to grow 🌷 Watch out the weeds will try to win the race.
    Well done with today’s video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 from 🇨🇦zone 7a. I will be out in my garden tomorrow to finish getting the Christmas lights out of 10 small evergreens. I’ll be sure to spend some time getting lost in the beautiful of it.

  24. Thank you for this.. My son said at the end of the video.. I see something beautiful… My Mom.. I didn't even know that he was paying attention to what I was watching…

  25. I remember when the American river flooded Sacramento and surrounding areas ☔️ Now that I live in N Carolina I blessed with fairly regular rainfall & I love the freshness aggravates good rain!

  26. I’m delighted to hear you’re seeing with fresh eyes and hearing with fresh ears, opening yourself to experience the lovely joys of rain. Colors are far more vivid, road noise is hushed. Plants respond with incredible vigor. Find the beauty. Love it.

  27. At the beginning of december we have had two weeks of beautiful cold frosty weather here in the Netherlands , after that it started raining and it hasn’t stopped. I can relate to feeling discouraged by it, but then I try to find something beautiful to focus on. Today it is supposed to be dry and a little bit sunny, so I am going to try to get out in my garden and do some little jobs. I really miss gardening in the wintertime, and focus more on my houseplants instead. But there is nothing like being outside. Thank you for this beautiful and much needed video Janey. Happy New Year to you and your family ❤

  28. I love the sound of the Rain and even Thunder more so! Especially on days when I can leave the doors open to hear it better😻🆒. And we have lots of both here in the Paris burbs.

  29. I love the sound of the rain. I use live in WA and loved to swim in the pool in the rain. I could not under why eople thought that was so odd. You get wet either way! You better learn to enjoy rain in WA. LOL
