There are certain advantages to rain. I mean, like the next person, I feel like rain can be annoying and inconvenient. But there are those times when rain is exactly what you need. A quiet morning lazily spent in bed because you've slept later than normal because it's dark out. The pitter-patter of rain falling on the roof while you're in your pajamas, under a blanket on the couch. The tv is on low, there's a book on the coffee table, and you're ready to fall asleep again even though you just got up. You don't feel guilty for being lazy and you don't feel like you have to do anything but sit, lay down, and relax.
It's those times when rain is more comfort than annoyance that makes you sit back and enjoy the moment. Most of us move too fast to take all of it in, but on those days when it's raining and you don't want to go out and you're not doing chores around the house, when you can really just enjoy life. You can enjoy the person your with, be it a lover, husband, wife, child or friend. You talk to them. You have conversations that last longer than "How was your day? What do you want for dinner?" Those standard questions that we ask everyday because it's part of our routine. There's nothing wrong with them, but the rainy day gives you a chance to make love in the middle of the day, to play board games with your kids, or watch movies with your friends. To laugh, and eat and sleep. To be homey.
