Rainy days have a way of draining my energy. Don't get me wrong, I actually like summer rain, especially drizzle, because it's warm out and if I choose I can go outside in flip flops - which is always better than getting my shoes soaked. The problem is though, the darkness and gloominess of rainy days. It makes me feel like I should be home staring out my window, or curled up in bed reading a book. Most of us don't really want to be out in the rain, but we have to go to work, to school, or to run errands so we make our way out there.
Then there are those people who actually love the rain, and feel more invigorated when the clouds are out. I have an ex-boyfriend from many moons ago who loves rain..and dare I say it, he also likes the colder weather. I always thought he was crazy. I love hot weather. I like to go outside in a tank top and shorts and feel the warmth on my skin. Which is why I don't dislike the summer rain as much. Usually when it rains in the summer it's still warm out, and you only get cold when your skin gets wet and the wind picks up. Though I don't think I could ever like the cold, I do think there is a bit of whimsy in a rainy day. I think it's romantic to take an adventure outside with your boyfriend/girlfriend while huddled up under one umbrella together. Or you can stay inside and spend the day watching movies and cuddling. You can also try to recreate the best scene (in my opinion) from "The Notebook" where they are on the lake and it starts raining..
Just remember to appreciate the rainy days, because as a co-worker pointed out to me - rainy days are the days it is okay to be lazy and no one can blame you for it.
