Over the past week, it has been raining quite a lot where I live. Many people I know get bummed out by the clouds, gloom, and colder temperatures that usually come with rainy days. I, however, love the rainy days.

Sometimes it's reading a book by an open window with a cup of tea. Sometimes it's listening to Ray Lamontagne and working on projects that need to get done. Something about the rain makes me feel both relaxed and productive, but for so many of my peers, that isn't true.
