As I'm sitting in my room in my PJ's, writing this post and enjoying some chocolate, I can feel the fresh and cool air coming through my window.
Even though first day of September was hot and sunny, last two days were rainy and gloomy.

This is the period when I feel "blah". I don't really know better way to describe it. Transition from summer to autumn is my least favorite but I think that this year I'm taking it a lot better than the previous years. I even enjoyed the rain drops and cooler temperature.
This made me think of different ways I could spice up rainy days and I thought I would share some ideas with you.
Rainy Day Activities
1. Get wet
Put on a pair of rain boots and go outside. Let your inner child feel the joy of the rain again. Alone, with a friend, kid or a pet, you can have an amazing time.

2. Make your favorite food/dessert
I feel like rainy day is perfect for some baking (muffins are my favorite). If that's not your thing, you can always take some time and make your favorite meal.
3. Snuggle up in your bed
I don't know if it's just me, but nothing can beat the feeling when you're all cozy and snuggled in your bed, with your blankets and pillows while listening to the rain.

4. Watch a movie/TV series
Perfect time to catch up on TV series, watch that movie that's been on your list for a long time or just re-watch one of your all time favorites.
5. Listen to music
Browse the Internet for some rainy day playlists or make your own. Choose something soft, gentle and relaxing for the ears and mind.
6. Pour it up
Coffee, tea, hot chocolate or maybe some wine. Whatever suits your soul!

7. Read a book
Rain and a good book is a combination that will never get old!
8. Learn something
If you have a hobby or just something you've been interested in for a while, this is the perfect time to get more in depth with the subject. Do some research, read about it, watch a tutorial, practice, explore...
9. Call/text someone you care about
Maybe there's another person out there who is bored on a rainy day, maybe someone you haven't heard from in a while. Call them or text them, it can be a great time to catch up. Or you can just come on Steemit and catch up with people/posts here. :)
10. Combine a few things from 1-9
Being all cozy in your bed, listening to the rain while sipping on your drink of choice and watching a movie or reading a book? Or listening to music while you're baking/cooking? Make your own combination and enjoy!

I hope you found this post interesting and got a few ideas when the rain comes! Let me know what is your perfect combination! :)
I hate autumn...I hate rain :(
Haha! I used to feel the same way but I'm starting to like it and trying to find simple joys in autumn (at least for now).
:)
Simple but good
Thank you so much! :)
I love rainy days but it's rained enough for me this year. I hope it snows as much as it's rained the last 6 months.
That is just too much! I would feel the same.
I hope you'll get the snow you wish for! :)
I have to say that I love Autumn and the Winter too. Wathing a movie sitting on my sofa, an hot chocolate, The colors of the nature that rest waiting the next Spring... I love the atmosphere of the Autumn ^_^
I'm glad to hear that, finally someone who loves Autumn. I'm starting to enjoy it too, especially after a super hot summer.
Colors of nature are beautiful in Autumn - all the yellows, oranges and reds. :)

Great ideas for rainy day! Sometimes when it rains, I take my Nikon and go outside :)
Thank you!
That must be a great time, you and your camera. I have to try that as well so you just gave me a new idea, hehe! :D
@nikolina Great fun tips you gave to do on rainy days; i love to get wet in the rain or to just watch the raindrops while letting my mind float --just so relaxing!
I agree, it's so calming, I like to do that too sometimes.
Thank you for your comment! :)
