Rainy days are different than snow days. The feelings they evoke (create, cause) in us are different. Besides the obvious fact that schools and businesses don't close when it rains, the rain brings feelings of sadness and melancholy for many of us. The sky is crying. I like rainy days because they are a good excuse for staying in and reading a good book. The Magnificent King Edgar the Bald, my little feathered friend and master, likes them because I spend more time with him. It is very hard to motivate myself on rainy days, however. Right at this moment I am writing this on my blog when I really should be dusting and vacuuming. I am postponing (procrastinating) the inevitable (it can not be avoided). Rainy days are good days for putting things off to another time. It seems so much easier to be active and accomplish things when the sun is shining. The outside world has quite an impact on our feelings and moods. We are part of the world around us, and as much as we might like to at times, we can't separate ourselves from it.
So, the secret I suppose is to "go with the flow" and use each day in the best way we can while trying to maintain harmony (peace, well being, balance) between our inner being and the world around us. It is ok to feel sad or melancholy on a rainy day. After all, if it wasn't for rainy days, we wouldn't enjoy sunny days nearly as much.
