Loving The Rain

Friday, May 2nd, 2008 by Alyice

It’s raining here in South Dakota. As I type this I can hear the pitter patter of the rain as it falls from the sky onto the ground near my basement window. There’s something about rain that just calms me. I can watch the rain fall from the sky all day long. I love to watch it dance as the wind takes it to and fro. It seems to move effortlessly throughout the land—only to stop when it has reached its destination.

I also love the smell of rain. It reminds me of my childhood and brings back good memories. It also causes me to pause and appreciate life. I love to take deep breaths, filling in my lungs with what feels like the freshest air on earth, and then just lose myself in the moment as I daydream about what was, what is, and what could be.

You could say that rain is my natural tranquilizer. It’s a free de-stressing mechanism that only comes around every few months and one that I will always cherish—just so long as those scary thunderstorms and tornados keep their distance.

Until next time…
