Dear Friend,

As we walk along life's pathways, we will inevitably encounter dark skies and rainclouds blocking out the sunshine and dampening our days.

It would do well for us to remember that with rains come rainbows. It nourishes all living things. It clears out the smog in the skies. There is a time for rain in the season of our soul and rather than let it wash away our hope, let it bring about a new beginning.


Sunshine and rain make a rainbow. God's power and prayer make a miracle. ~Author Unknown

Ways to Enjoy Rainy Days
Most people associate wet weather to traffic jams and soggy clothing but there is a way to take delight in this time of the year!

• The rains bring life! Our mindset has a lot to do with how we view the rainy season. If we remember how all living things need sustenance through life's natural showers, it will help us appreciate the rain! When tragic storms cause damage to lives and property, let's bring hope to those affected by generously showering them with our care, comfort and support. To help typhoon "Frank" victims click here
• Bring family history alive! When the downpour forces you to stay indoors, make it a memorable family event! Take a video of your grandparents and the most senior members in the family. Let them relate their earliest memories and most cherished stories. You can bring this out on other rainy days or even during special family reunions!
• Try out a new recipe! Explore the delicious flavors you've never tasted before! Warm food on cold days are a specially soothing treat! Get the family together for a cozy party indoors!

• Play boardgames! You can have fun "Creating Your Very Own Story" game. Have at least 3 players sit in a circle. The first player will say "Once upon a time...." and think up an interesting beginning to a story. The next player continues the story as well as the next player. Go on and on and on until you have a story like no other!
• Reconnect. Haven't heard from one of your closest friends lately? Give him a call. He may just need it at this time! Better yet, cheer someone who is going through a rough time.

Reseller's Corner
When Papemelroti started, it was only one little shop on Tomas Morato, Quezon City. Mrs. Alejandro would display items with care and one by one they would get sold. She developed a knack in choosing which items looked well together. Lo and behold, not one or two items, but the whole display would get sold!

It's quite a challenge to fix up a store specially when you have limited space but it will be a simpler task if you think of it as your home. It should be a place to relax all who visit. Everyone should feel at home and not be "stressed" within its confines. In short, it must be a refuge.

Experimentation is also a good way to develop the art of excellent interiors. Move furniture and items around frequently to see which works and looks better. Ask your friends and family their opinion on which layout is the more aesthetically pleasing and practical as well (space-saving for instance).

Lastly, enjoy! In whatever work we do, the care and enthusiasm in which we perform each task shows through to our customers so let's give it our all!
