Unlike most people I know, I like rainy days. I’m not referring to days-on-end torrents that flood the yard, back up the swimming pool and overflow drainage ditches, but typical showers that occur either seasonally or at unexpected times. Yes, I find ways to be productive and feel good about myself and my life even during inclement weather. Here are 10 reasons why I like rainy days, even when it literally rains all day (and night long).
Everybody must deal with it.
Seriously, there’s a natural tendency to wish the rain would cease so life can get back to normal, yet there’s logic in the realisation that everybody is in the same situation of having to deal with the weather. That’s not only comforting to me, it also has a calming effect, knowing that my peers are experiencing the “what-do-I-do-now” dilemma. This universality makes me feel closer with others in my community and social sphere.
There’s always laundry to get done.
Rainy weather can make the house cold and damp. Besides the familiar aroma of laundry detergents and fabric softeners and the hum of the washer and dryer as loads of clothes, linens and towels go from dirty to clean, the household chore of doing laundry makes the home environment feel more welcoming. It certainly warms it up, plus there’s the satisfaction of all those clean, freshly-laundered items. Everyone’s got clean
