Rainy Day! No Problem

Most people do not like rainy days, but I don't mind them.  I look at it as a time to re-energize.  Think about it....why does it rain?  To noushish the earth, to water flowers and crops, to put moisture in the air, to make things green, etc. So, why can't we do the same thing for ourselves?  When it rains, it is an opprotunity to do something for YOU. Try some of the following:
  1.  Exercise inside.  Check out a workout on TV.  Try Yoga....If you have a Wii, have a Wii tournament with your family (great for some laughs). 
  2.  Organize.  Great time to organize closets or drawers and the next time you are in a rush and looking for something, you will be grateful for that rainy day!
  3. Read.  Even if you just read a magazine or a few pages in a book, it will give you a sense of relaxation and pleasure that you are taking a "time out."
  4. Cook.  Great time to get caught up on preparing meals for the week.  It will make your week so much easier when you come home to a home cooked meal.
  5. Meditate.  Most people say they CAN'T meditate because they cannot quiet their minds, but you CAN.  Learn more about it and as with anything that you want to do well, it takes PRACTICE!
  6. Catch up with people you love.  Call, e-mail, write or meet in person. Rainy days are a good day to be with the ones you love. 
  7. Spend some time with your pet. (Of course if you have one) Give your dog a bath, roll around on the floor and play with your cats, watch your fish in the fish tank, whatever....have fun.
  8. Start a new project.  I just started blogging.  Something new and exciting for me to learn.
  9. Knit, work in the wood shop, paint a room, repair something that you have let go.  There is no time like the present, so to roll up your sleeves and accomplish something today.
  10. Live in the moment. Don't sweat all the things that you SHOULD be doing today if it weren't raining. Realize that each day is a good day and make the most out of it. 
So, HAVE A NICE RAINY DAY!! Oh , BTW, if it is sunny where you are...Have a NICE DAY TOO!
