The rain started at 10:30 this morning, and now it is 2:30 p.m. and the rain still hasn’t stopped. I picked up my daughter from school at 1:00. She didn’t go inside the house; instead, she preferred to play in the rain. In our country, the rainy season brings a high intensity of rainfall.
The worst thing is that I cannot go to the street marketplace to sell my products, so I have had no income until now. I don’t have a stall to protect me from the rain and sun, so my sales depend on the weather.
To warm myself after getting wet while picking up my daughter, I made a cup of ginger drink. I used two centimeters of grated ginger and boiled it with jaggery or coconut sugar. It warmed my body.
Ginger drink is very popular here for warming up the body. Ginger is easy to find and inexpensive. It is also a common kitchen ingredient used in cooking our local dishes.
Rainy season is predicted to end at the end of February. The intensity of the rain will still be high until January.
Even though the weather makes daily life difficult, I keep hoping for clearer days ahead. The rain reminds me to stay patient and grateful for small comforts, like a warm drink or a quiet moment with my daughter. When the skies finally brighten, I’ll return to the market for better days.
