“How may I find refreshment in the rain,when I'd rather be outside doing something in the sunshine?”
If you have never taken time to notice rain, sit by a window on a rainy day and watch how the rain makes all the colors brighter. Green never looked greener than on a rainy day, and how about the glorious earth? Yes, there is beauty everywhere if only we take the time to look. Watch what happens when raindrops hit the trees. The leaves seem to dance, and the trees come alive with animation. Watching this can help you remember the importance of rain as a life-giving necessity for our planet. And, it only takes one raindrop to make a leaf dance. Why not help celebrate the dance of life with a dance of your own? Here are a few more ways to help you move through boredom toward acceptance of rainy days while nurturing your spiritual self:
• Meditate to the sound of the rain hitting the roof of your home
• Go outside and dance in the puddles
• Light candles and burn incense while watching the rain fall
• Breathe in the rain smells; visualize yourself being washed clean of negativity by refreshing raindrops
• Take your dog for a walk in the rain
• Pick up that book you've been putting off reading and honor yourself with a much needed break
• Give attention to that favorite project you've been neglecting
• Reinvent yourself by writing goals, dreams, and thoughts in a journal
• Take a long, warm bath with candles and listen to the patter of rain drops on the roof
The next time the weather forecaster calls for rain, look at it as a time for you to break away from schedules, deadlines, and whirlwind activity and make time to focus on your being. Let the rhythms of the rain help you put yourself into the present moment. Allow yourself the luxury to simply be. ...

Wonderful blog, forget me not.
I like rainy days very much(may be because it hardly rains at my place). When it rains, I can watch it from the door/window for hours and hours. Although it doesn't rain continuously for many days now, it did rain for many days continuously when I was a child. I always remember one of those times when I read a story book while it rained for 4 or 5 days. Only thinking about that time makes me happy. I just wish that it starts to rain very soon. ^_^
I like the fourth way most.
Rainy days are what we really need here since our dams are quite thirsty for a long time. If we couldn't have more rainy days, our living water will be limited soon. Hope God bless us.
Thanks for sharing.
