Rainy Days

Rainy days mean different things to different people.  To me a rainy day signifies cooking especially soups, no idea why but whenever it rains, soup is what comes to my mind.  A rainy day also means staying indoors wishing you could be outdoors, but if it were sunny you would be indoors anyhow.  Which leads me to being in the present and mindfulness.  I have read a lot about these two topics and know I would be much happier and balanced with enjoying what is right in front of me rather than worrying about what may or may not happen. Also taking the time to just breathe and slow down has been huge, its only 5 minutes but it seems to help me through out the day remain calm and focus.  Now to enjoy my rainy day!
