Here it is, day 2 of continuous rain with no hope of sunshine and no reason to go outside. I remember when I was young, the pleasure I would get in putting on my pink rain boots and matching floral raincoat was comparable to hearing the ice cream truck stop on my street.
Lately, rain seems to bring with it the unwillingness to leave ones home, making it extremely difficult to gather friends together for a coffee date or light stroll. A day like today is normally filled with over eating of junk food, frustrated channel surfing and a deep sigh as you catch a glimpse of the outdoors. But, not for me! Contrary to the usual displeasure that surrounds acknowledgement of a rainy day, I am always excited, and here are the reasons why.
1. Being the weekend and all, I can enjoy a cat-nap in the darkness of my living room while listening to the pitter patter of rain overhead.
2. Talk about a personal aphrodisiac! There is something about the sounds and smells, and opportunity to get wet that do it for me.
3. I rarely read novels, I watch movies, and on a day like today I like a good oldie. I am talking 1930ies black and white classic. Not only are these films sensational to watch BUT the fashion inspiration can be overwhelming in many.
4. Instead of stuffing myself with the desirable cheetos and Cho-mo, I make the most of my time at home by trying out new recipes. I surf the web for a healthy, tasty treat, visit my local grocer and let the games begin. If it’s awesome, well then there is dinner and if it’s retched, no one is the wiser.
On that note, enjoy the rain while you can cause the sun’ll come out tomorrow…maybe.
