The best thing one can do when it’s raining is let it rain. September 27, 2007
We had a big storm last night, the kind that wakes you up with thunder in the middle of the night. I love storms like that. I think one of the best feelings in the world is waking up, looking at the clock, and realizing you still have multiple hours to sleep.
When I woke up this morning it was still grey and rainy outside. No wind or thunder, just steady rain. Right straight down, as my mom would say. I had initially planned to go into the office this morning, but the rain kept me in. I was looking forward to a morning of working from home and looking out at the rain through our big living room window.
And then the sun came out.
Am I the only one who is sometimes disappointed in a sunny day? Sometimes you’re just in the mood for rain. A rainy day allows you to take your time and move a little more slowly. I don’t feel like I have to go go go when it’s raining. I feel let down by the sun today, moving in on my lazy day and making me feel guilty for sitting on the sofa.
I hear ya. And how much would I love a job where I got to stay home to work every once in a while if I wanted to?
i love watching steady rain…it’s very soothing to me for some reason.
