Rain Rain



It won't stop I'm telling you, the rain that is. I stayed in all day on this lazy Sunday, then I decided to venture out in the late afternoon as I was beginning to develop cabin fever and thought it would be nice to have some people contact. I dropped off a movie, stopped by the mailbox, and made my way to the gym. It was actually a nice, rain, straight down, no wind to turn my umbrella inside out, I enjoyed my little trot to the gym. Watching the rain fall as I was on my back attempting crunches looking out the window, the rain actually looked nice and peaceful as it gracefully made its way to the ground down below.

Equally enjoyed my walk back home, and took a moment under my building front awning watching the rain come down to meet the puddles down below, peaceful, quiet, soothing. A bit brighter than normal at 7:00 PM as we pushed our clocks forward to "spring forward" an hour last night, the evening light enveloped me and gave me a feeling of hope. From that moment, I decided to enjoy this rain for what it is, cool, cold enough to warrant a cuddle under the blankets, my rotating room heater on, window shades open, enjoying the view as the rain drops drip down on my window panes.
