After spending a week off and on in the pouring down rain and then reading Rainy Day Quotes by Life Lessons, I decided that a Rainy Day post was in order.
The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Rain is my shower – Cambodia
The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you’d just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency. ~Susan Allen Toth, England For All Seasons
Rain off my window – Korea
What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance. ~Jane Austen
Rain on a hike – Venezuela
It is beautiful when it rains far away in the distance, the bright sun shining on the mound on which you stand, and only a few guerilla drops heralding the approach of the shower towards you. ~John Richard Vernon, “The Beauty of Rain,” 1863
Approaching Rains Venezuela
I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness. ~Adeline Knapp

I’m over the bridge and under the rain.~ Mat Kearney
“When it’s pouring rain and you’re bowling along through the wet, there’s satisfaction in knowing you’re out there and the others aren’t.” -Peter Snell
“I know this much about racing in the rain. I know it is about balance. It is about anticipation and patience… about the mind! It is about owning one’s body… It is about believing that you are not you; you are everything. And everything is you.” ― Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. ~ Dolly Parton
After the rain on a hike in Venezuela
“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.”
― Bob Marley
A happy rainy day song.
Ooohh I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooohh how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside “Laughter In The Rain” ~Neil Sedaka
Finally a great sad rainy day song.

Thanks.. I am music obsessed.. I wish I could develop a soundtrack for future events.. makes them so much more memorable. haha.
Glad to meet another music-obsessed blogger!! And I completely agree with you…The right kind of music always makes even the dullest of things more interesting… But sadly, I guess no one really has time enough to develop soundtracks for all the events that you want to make for… Maybe, someday…
Love,
Sumithra.
Yehay me too. Thanks for stopping by and also at this point taking recommendations for good music..
Really enjoyable! Coming from Seattle, I know a little bit about the rain, and I will keep this post handy as a reminder.

Thank you for sharing the beauty of the rain. I am reading your blog on a rainy afternoon. How appropriate.
It rained this morning and finally the sun broke..
Yay! Let’s celebrate rain. The kind that drips off your nose. And then those hot scones, please.
Agreed.. it’s nice to get out or just slow down in a comforting rain.
