Rainy Days!

     Wow, two posts in one day! Well, I figured that last post was more of a makeup for the last 2 weeks, so I decided to post something worth the day! And in case the title didn't already give it away, it's about rainy days!

     Now, on usual days such as these I tend to spend the day wrapped in a blanket in my bed with hot coffee/chocolate/tea (preferably tea) watching Disney movies! And what better way to spend a day, am I right? Because of the rain and the grogginess, it seems like it's 8 AM all day, which is something I love. It gives me and excuse to stay in bed all day and no one can say anything to me, because they're all doing the same!

     But, today is a different story. You see, I have a lot of friends that live all over the country. Whether I met them through the internet or because they recently moved away for college, the point is that they're not close to me. So I like spending some time writing letters and making packages for my friends! Rainy days in particular, because there really isn't anything else to do when you can't go outside (nothing productive at least). But it is the greatest feeling being wrapped in a warm jacket or blanket in front of your desk with a delicious cup of coffee and a notebook and pen in front of you.

 

     Take the day to write to someone about your day--maybe your week. Odds are you won't be seeing this person for a while, but that doesn't mean you have to stop talking to them! Sure, there's email and Skype and Facebook to communicate with this person, but being old fashioned is so rewarding. To know that you spent time making a letter or package perfect to send to your friend is truly satisfying. And just imagine what your friend will think when they're surprised by something in the mail from you! Let's be honest here, no one really gets any physical mail anymore, unless it's bills. I guarantee that you will make this person's day with just the simple task of sending them a "Hello, I miss you." through the mail. 

     What makes this so much more soothing is putting on your favorite playlist in the background while you write to your friends. It makes you completely forget the world for a few hours. All there is is you, your story to your friend, and a warm cup of coffee. And of course whatever music fills your soul.

     Trust me. This is a great way to spend a rainy day. In fact, I recommend writing letters to your friends even when it's 85 degrees and sunny outside! Old fashioned never goes out of style, guys.
