Baby, It's Cold Outside or Reasons Why I Like The Cloudy Days.

I've always said September is that one month that flies by so fast compared to other months. Perhaps it's due to the fact that so many things usually happen for me during this month, though I'm pretty sure that's not generally the case. Today marks as the last day in September (finally, September has ended!) and we are entering the cloudy, rainy days of October. It's actually raining as I'm typing this out, and i'm being cooled over by a soft, chilly breeze. It would suffice to say that that is the most practical reason for me to like the cold, but I enjoy many of it's other benefits as well. 

Here's just of my personal reasons.

1. Falling asleep to the sound of rain. 

I don't know about you (but I'm feeling 22!) but hearing the raindrops falling, or just the sound a slow shower of rain is very calming to me. Add to that the chill it brings during the night and it makes for a really sound sleep time. Gotta be careful to wear the appropriate clothes though, I don't like waking up sick with a cold because I chose to wear a wife beater to bed when I knew it was going to get really cold. 

2. Getting cozy with warm clothes.

Knit-sweaters, cardigans, hoodies, you name it! An appropriate (and cute!) outer wear will make a ton of difference on how you enjoy this weather. A simple hoodie or a tailored jacket, bad weather doesn't have to rain your parade. Most people think cloudy days are gloomy and depressing but that isn't always the case! 

3. A warm cup of coffee/tea to start your day.

I know many of us do our regular morning coffee hits the moment I wake up and are sober enough to get my buns out of bed but something almost magical happens when I try to slow down my pace and actually enjoy the coffee that's warming up my palms. In this fast paced world, time has become a luxury. There's a feel of rush, then it slows down and then suddenly even just for a moment, something makes me feel like it's all fine. Of course, that's probably just the caffeine punching my brain cells into submission but getting to slow down and enjoy a simple drink is already a big thing.

I bet there are many other reasons why I enjoy the rainy days, and they are not all quantifiable into words but I will always appreciate them.
