Reading in the Rain

I don’t know where you are—based on my blog stats, there’s a good chance you might be in Brazil or New Zealand or Italy or India or Britain—but whatever part of the world you’re in, it might be raining. 

That steady downpour that makes you hunt a sofa, a blanket, a warm cup of coffee or tea. 

You need a nap, really, a chance to drop off to sleep, snuggled on the sofa, stealing a moment of doing for yourself. 

But what to do until sleep arrives? 

The TV has become boring, and you’re too lazy right now to read. 

Here’s the ticket: listen to this story. Or this one. Or if you are one of those folks who takes longer to drift off, give this one a try.

Seven minutes, eight, you’ll be done. 

Turning over, yanking the covers beneath your chin, you’ll sigh in contentment. Sleep will descend, and your dreams will make you laugh out loud.

Remember: You Cain’t Do Nothing with Love
