The First Rain
In ways that are unexplainable, while the gray made me feel gray, the first rain of the season has made me feel happy. I actually love this season and there's something about the rain that can be extremely cozy and intimate and wonderful. One of the loneliest and yet most lovely sounds to me is the sound of tires on a rainy street. And then the sound of the rain against the roof and against the windows while you're warm and comfortable inside....*sigh*. I know rain can get old, and I couldn't live with it constantly. But that first rain---it's almost always a welcome guest.

This is more how I feel this time of year. I think it has something to do with my obsession with boots and turtlenecks, but I just love when the weather turns rainy and cool. Last year when everyone was complaining about the long rainy season, I was still enjoying it immensely.
On the other hand, there is actually a syndrome called Seasonal Affective Disorder (that's SAD, for those of you who appreciate irony). Treatment with light therapy is very effective for it.

You wouldn't think rain was so cool if you had to shovel it all winter as a child.
Wait, that's snow. Never mind, I'll just take my old-person lecture somewhere else...

I actually love the rain. Sad thing is here, it doesn't just rain...its either nothing or in torrents :(
