Rainy Days

Gloomy weather always finds a way to put a damper on my mood. From the time I wake up it is bringing me down. It is hard to get out of bed when there are clouds blocking the sunlight meant to wake your senses. Getting up in darkness just seems unnatural. Then walking outside into the cold and wet. It all seems just so unappealing as I lay in bed fighting my alarm clock. Being forced to leave a comfortable bed and pushed into unpleasant weather really puts you in a pessimistic mood. Being outside is no fun, thus exercising and chasing that natural high just seems so unappealing. On days like this I am simply worthless. All day I feel lazy and don’t want to do anything but lie around and nap. I guess that is what rain is good for. It is good to escape and listen to and watch from a comfortable vantage point. There is nothing like the sound of a soft sound of rain to lull you to sleep. I guess you could say the rain is here to help is take a day off. It gives us an excuse to go for a run or go to the library tomorrow. Likewise it makes us appreciate the sunny days. As we rush from building to building hidden beneath a damp hood, all I want is the feeling of warm sunlight on my back. I guess I won’t be feeling that warmth on my back anytime soon, or even the sun for that matter in the next few days, but today I think I will take my chances on putting some things off until a sunnier day.
