  • Rainy Day Monday!

    Rainy Day Monday!

    Rainy Day Monday is a day like any other.  Because of the rain outside, there is something calming and soothing for me.  One of my favorite things to do in the rain is take a walk in a park or a beach.  Rainy days and Monday reminds me of a song I heard growing up by The Carpenters – “Rainy Days and Mondays“.

    Rain is always welcome.  Since I love the sound of a pitter patter of water, I will be embracing the day.  I love to hear the sound of tires and children playing in puddles.

    Woke up this morning to the sound of the pitter-patter of rain and the soothing sound of wind.  Moreover, there is nothing like the sound of rain on a hot humid Summer Day.  The rain cools the temperature.

    Due to nature gifting us with rain this Monday, it sounds beautiful.   In addition – with rain, I tend to forget my worries and love the sound and sweet smell of rain.   There is something really magical about rain.  I remember being in Hawaii in my 20’s with and after a downpour I saw the most beautiful colorful rainbow from my balcony of the Hotel I was vacationing with my Sister Edie.

    Rainy Day Monday

    Since the weather isn’t being cooperative today, some of the things I will be doing on this Rainy Day Monday are:

    1. Cooking and Baking
    2. Cleaning my House
    3. Nap
    4. Wearing cozy and comfortable clothes
    5. Catch up on reading magazines and reading a book on my Kindle
    6. Snuggle with my Husband

    After a good rain fall everything always looks brighter.  I love the smell of the grass and flowers and the looking up in the sky I’m always in search of a rainbow.

    Rainy Day and Monday always brings a smile to my face and today is no exception.  Share with me how you will be spending the day in the rain.  Look forward to seeing your comments on the rain.
