A Rainy Day

When I wake up in the morning, I can often tell the weather by the feel of my head. Apparently, my sinuses are as sensitive as a barometer. When the pressure changes, or a storm moves in, I can feel it. Mornings like this, I pop a pill almost before I roll out of bed.

On the one hand, I'm happy. I don't have to water the flowers today.
On the other hand, it saddens me. I won't be outside finishing up my art projects.

I'm going to have to run some errands today. Get some stuff done.

On a rainy day, lots of activities appeal to me. I want to curl up and read a good book. I want to watch chick flicks and laugh with friends. I want to hunker down, cook some soup and stay indoors.

Rainy days allow us to step back from the outside rush, take a deep breath, and relax. Heavy outdoor chores have to be set aside for another day. It's God's way of making you take a break.
