Living
in Pennsylvania is always a treat when spring rolls around. This year was
exceptional because we had a late spring with endless days of rain. As glossy raindrops
drum against my dining room window again, I think of the farmers’ axiom, “Rain
in May, a barn full of hay.”  |

In
such a busy world, I’m thinking the Almighty sends down the rain to allow us time
to slow down and take a breath. Rainy days are for dawdling. This is the time
when we can enjoy our second cup of coffee, or we can peruse that tall stack of
magazines or paperwork we’ve labeled, to
be read. We can listen to a favorite
song, read a good book, and finish an art project or indoor chore that’s been
bugging us for months. It’s also a great time to write without the guilt that outside
tasks are awaiting us.
I
often say I’m glad that humans can’t control the weather, because it reminds me
who’s really in charge. It also teaches us to embrace the unpredictable, to be flexible,
and to welcome change in our lives. For those who like to plan or follow a daily
routine, inclement days remind us that deviations from our conventional days can
be enjoyable… and maybe, just maybe, there might be a rainbow as an added
bonus.
What
do you like to do on a rainy day?

Rainy days make me want to curl up with a good book. I love rainy days in general, even if I can't take time off to read.
