It’s a scientific fact that the sun makes you happier, but since there is no UVB rays to help our bodies get that vitamin D, here are some less scientific reasons and ways to enjoy those rainy days too!
1. Drought, anyone?
No thanks. I think our Australian friends would have a few words to say to us about that one.
2. Puddle Jumping.
Aside from the awkward teenage years, everyone secretly misses the ease of being a kid. And since it’s no longer socially acceptable to throw hissy fits in the grocery store, and we still need to pays our bills, jumping in the puddles is about as close as being a kid as were going to get.
3. That sweet smell of wet pavement.
Living in Vancouver is great, and I’ll be the first to tell you that, but sometimes Vancouver’s smell is well, less than hygienic. You take showers to get clean, and smell great, don’t you? Let’s give our city the same benefit- it takes a little bit more of a beating.
4. Omg, Shoes.
The saying goes ” nobody likes excuses”. Well, here’s to proving it wrong, I will accept any excuse that will help me justify another pair of shoes. And well don’t be preposterous, you’re going to need the coat to go with the shoes. Oh, and where better to hide from the rain, than in the warmth of your favorite boutique. Sigh, isn’t rain great?
5. Veg out.
Don’t you feel a little obligated to go out an enjoy the rays in the summer? Even though in reality you just want to snuggle up on the couch, eat some french fries, and watch the entire season of your favorite sitcom? Thank you, rain!
I hope some of these will help to get you out of your rainy day rut! Please share all your rainy remedies, I think we all know, no matter the season Vancouver’s got a few rainy days up it’s sleeve.
