“There is something joyful about storms that interrupt routine. Snow or freezing rain suddenly releases you from expectations, performance demands, and the tyranny of appointments and schedules. And unlike illness, it is largely a corporate rather than an individual experience. One can almost hear a unified sigh rise from the nearby city and surrounding countryside where Nature has intervened to give respite to the weary humans slogging it out within her purview” (The Shack William Young 15).
When people ask me is the rain gets to me living in Seattle I reply with a confident no. This paragraph sums up how I feel about rainy days and storms. My favorite days are the ones where I’m cooped up inside snuggled in a blanket with a favorite book and cup of tea because Mother Nature prevents me from venturing outside. Even when it’s raining I enjoy taking advantage of the excuse to stay inside and work on my to-do list. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sunshine too, I love those days too irresistible to be inside because the sun demands I get my dose of Vitamin D.
