"Consider this. From the first few drops of gentle sprinkling, to a wind-lashing deluge, rain is a permissive pal. Rain restores serenity to our daily endeavors because it slows us down, or it should. It's been my observation that when it rains, no one--from the dog to the boss--really expects much to happen or get done. This means we get to indulge in activities that would otherwise make us feel guilty--dawdling, idle converstaion with coworkers, naps. "Gosh, isn't the weather dreadful," we mutter as our frazzled bodies and restless spirits downshift with a sigh of relief."
