Rain Rain, Go Away

Rain Rain Go Away
Come Again Another Day

This little nursery rhyme that we all learned at an early age, dates back as far as the 17th century.  Wow! That is certainly a long time.  So... people have been dreading rainy days for over 400 years now?!

Well, lets take a moment to think about this....

There are tons of benefits to having rainy days:

 -Rain water is better for growing plants than tap water because of flouride and chemical treatments. (which we need)
  -Rain keeps our rivers flowing and our lakes full.
  -You can spend the day in bed.  Don't you always sleep better when its raining?  You could probably use the extra rest, anyway.
  -You can relax on the couch and read that book you've been wanting to read for the last 3 months.
  -Catch up on phone calls to loved ones.
  -Clean your house. ( I'm surely not the only one behind on this task? Am I? (:
  -Redecorate
  -Download new music
  -Catch up on bills and To-Do lists

As you can see, I could go on and on with this list.  So, really? When you stop to think about it.... Rainy days aren't so boring after all.

What are some of the things you do on rainy days?

Love Your Guts! (:
