Maybe its the gloom.

I love to sleep in pitch black, and cold rooms. My wife jokes I’m part vampire.

Maybe its from growing up for a time in a 2 room cabin with a tin roof.
When it rained, no matter how light or how hard, my eye lids could not stay open to save my life. Was just so relaxing.

Maybe its from working construction jobs when I was in High School. When it rained, we stayed home.

Whatever the reason, rainy days, I want to stay home and curl up in bed. Or sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and just watch it rain.

Listen to Rainy Night in Georgia

Yessir. Rainy days are probably my favorite day.

And I hate being at work when it rains.

I know, summer is not here yet, however, with the warm spell we are having here in Ga., it looks and feels a bit like it.  I woke up late this morning after a long night with my little man, one of the many to come, and decided to work from home.  I was able to go on my porch and drink coffee and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of what reminds me of those summer days when it is a slow steady rain.  I love it!  Something about summer rain calms me down , and lets me appreciate just how beautiful life is, even on a yucky rainy day.  The birds seem to be having fun splashing in the puddles, they don’t mind tha fact that it’s raining on them.  I can’t help but think that while we, as humans, take rainy days as unpleasant – nature thinks of it as a chance to grow, and recieve the much needed water.  Maybe the birds have a higher intellegence than we do.  They don’t take life for granted, they take everything life gives them, and uses it for their benifit.  We should be more like birds, don’t take life too seriously, you’ll never get out alive    Next time it rains, go outside, sit on the porch, be quiet – and just listen, its really quite breathtaking.
