liquid sunshine

As much as I love the sun and a bright, cloudless blue sky, a rainy day does wonders for my disposition. The soothing sound of a passing sprinkle, the transcending coolness in the air...and a great excuse to sit on my ass and do nothing.

For an overly-motivated, highly energized person such as myself, a day off from my laundry list of things-to-do can be a very good thing. Rainy days give me an opportunity to sit down, put my feet up, and take a deep breath - a nice change from my high-paced personality.

On the other hand, my husband looks at rainy days as a chance for peace and quiet, relaxation...and a break from his overly-motivated, highly energized (aka "Anal List-Maker of House Projects") wife.

So if you drive past my house and see my husband performing raindance rituals in our backyard, you'll know why.
