When I was a kid growing up in Indiana, we longed for rainy days in the summer. We didn’t live near an ocean or lake, and didn’t belong a country club, so the next best thing was rain. At the first sound of thunder, we put on our bathing suits, ran outside, and danced in the rain. It’s a wonder none of us were ever struck by lightning. Of course, parents today would be accused of child neglect if their kids danced in the rain. But there are still eight things to love about a rainy day.
You can:
1. Walk into a beauty shop and get a manicure or haircut, without an appointment , because most people are staying home. .
2. Skip the car wash . The rain cleans your dusty car.
3. Sleep late, go to bed early , and wake up feeling refreshed.
4. Binge on Netflix. Only dummies watch movies all day, right? But you can justify it on rainy days, no matter how well educated you are.
5. Stay in your pajamas all day because no one is apt to drop by.
You don’t have to:
6. Rake leaves or clean up the yard. Just stay inside and read a good book
7. Force yourself to go on a morning run/walk/bicycle ride when you really don’t feel like it.
8. Attend that boring club meeting, because most people won’t show up.
Above all, do not clean closets, scrub floors, or catch up on your filing. Rainy days can be depressing enough without dull, boring chores.
Make Rainy days Fun Days!
