When it is raining out, the roads are slippery, the pavement is slippery. Accidents are more likely to happen. Best we go slower and Pay Closer Attention to avoid a mishap. The same is true when our lives are “raining” stressful circumstances on our parade. We are more likely to be distracted, more likely to make a mistake. Best we go slower and pay closer attention.

Best we take it slower and pay closer attention to avoid making mistakes in judgment and compounding our problems.
