April Showers Bring May Flowers: The Power of Water and Growth
Have you ever heard the phrase, “April showers bring May flowers?” Rainy days are not always the most fun, but they are important because the rain showers nourish the earth, giving the plants and flowers the water and conditions they need to grow. Rain is an important part of springtime – and soon after the rain, the flowers are in full bloom, telling us that springtime is here! Just like nature, our AMAZING bodies and minds go through cycles of challenge, growth, and transformation. Water plays an essential role in keeping us healthy and vibrant, and even the toughest times (like rainy days) can lead to something beautiful!
