I grew up hearing Karen Carpenter sing, "Hanging around, nothing to do but frown. Rainy days and Mondays always get me down." Later, Tina Turner would sing, "I can't stand the rain." When people would speak of "saving for a rainy day", it was clear that they considered a "rainy day" to be a time of bad luck or struggle. All in all, when I was growing up, rainy days got a bad rap. Sunshine was good, rain was bad, and that was that! I pretty much believed it, too. I usually felt blue on a rainy day. As a child, I generally felt disappointed that the rain meant I could not go outside to play. As a young adult, I realized that a number of days without sunshine seemed to have a negative effect on my mood. So, for the most part, I agreed with the messages my culture gave me: that rainy days were bad days.
