“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
– Vivian Greene
I am personally an avid lover of the rain. I find it calming and relaxing, and full of inspiration. I love to curl up with a blanket and a coffee and write in my notebook or read a good book. To me, rain is beautiful and amazing.
I find rain a good time to write and gather inspiration. Often, when it’s sunny, I want to go outside or do other things. I’m easily distracted in hot and sunny weather. Rainy weather is perfect writing time for me.
I will often spend hours with a notebook or at my computer, writing down any ideas that come my way. The inspiration flows as fast as the rain falls and I find it a soothing and exciting time.
Once the wells of inspiration seem to dry up, I often grab a coffee and sit with a book for a while. It’s enjoyable to be sucked into fantasy worlds normally, but it’s even more exhilarating for me when it’s raining outside.
“Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book.”
– Bill Watterson
Rain is always a welcome occurrence for me. It gives me the time to rest and recharge. I also get the opportunity to re-read amazing books or start a new one. I enjoy the calm that comes with rain and the excitement that comes with a good storm.
I find that it’s good to use the time to read and write. To complete tasks that you wouldn’t usually do on a sunny day. Even if you don’t like rainy days, you can find something enjoyable within them. Soaking up the smells and the sounds is so refreshing and instantly makes my soul happy.
