Rainy Day Blues

Do rainy days get you down, as the song suggests? If they do, you're not alone. Most of us would like to pull up the covers on a rainy, cold, gray day like today, and just hunker down in bed until the sun is shining brightly again. But instead of indulging that impulse, we drag ourselves out of our warm nest and set off through the rain and fog to our jobs. Why? Well, I can't speak for your motivation, but I can tell you what gets me and other Free Clinic staff members and volunteers moving, even on a wet, nasty day- and that is knowing our sick and hurting neighbors will be coming through our doors looking for help. Our patients need us - so we're here for them. And everyone's day is brighter for that sacrifice and commitment.

So what get's you out of bed on a soggy day?
