1. Raindrops on the window

We all know that rainy days are perfect for two things: curling up with a book and, let’s admit it, a little bit of lazy lounging. There’s just something about the rhythmic patter of raindrops that makes us want to hit pause and simply enjoy the moment. Forget the spa; this is nature’s very own brand of therapy, free of charge.

2. Leaves crunching underfoot

Imagine taking a stroll in the park  during the fall  and being serenaded by the whispered secrets of the leaves as they rustle when you step on them. A walk isn’t complete without the satisfying crunch of leaves under your boots. This sound evokes a sense of nostalgia and connection to the changing seasons.
