The fall is slowly coming when the weather is getting colder with a few light rains and drizzles. Looking at this picture, I recall those rainy days when I’m home making a hot cup of chocolate and enjoy the rain.
On rainy days, a little cold and a little wet in the air calm me down. I enjoy the strangely peaceful feeling that comes to my mind whenever it rains. I love watching the rain falling from my bedroom window. I love listening to the rain sound and feel the fresh smell coming from wet ground and plants.
Holding the warm cup in my hands, I remember the time when I was in Vietnam. I have the same habit of watching the rain showering from the balcony.
I remember on school days, whenever it rained so heavily, my friends and I stood in front of the classroom waiting for the rain to stop. Sometimes, we were so impatient that we ran under the rain to go home. Although we got wet after all, we did have fun together.
Those times become one of the most beautiful memories that I have ever had. Thinking of those precious moments always makes me feel a lot happier.
Rainy days are the times when I take a little break for myself for having been working so hard on my college life. They are the times when I allow myself to temporarily forget about all the things that have been around my life and let myself immerse in nature and in those old beautiful memories and relax.
I think that most of the time, we are so busy with our work and life that we forget about one thing that we also need to rest. Sometimes, it is necessary to take a pause to ease the mind. I know some of you might think it is not easy to take a rest while you still have a lot of stuffs waiting for you to get done. But you know, machines even need to stop after a long day running, and so do we.
If you slow down a bit and take a small break, even only in a few minutes, you will not get too overwhelmed and you will gain back enough energy to get your mind and your hands back to work.
Do you think the same way as I do? Please feel free to share with me your thoughts and stories!
There is nothing more that I enjoy than a rainy or snowy day when I can be inside and just watch what is happening outside. With work, school and my sorority, it is hard to find a time to relax and this was a nice little reminder that I do need to take a step back and relax once in a while. I completely agree with you on this. I really like how you mentioned that our computers need a break, and I think that students should take some time everyday where they give themselves and their computers a break.
