it's raining. i *love* rain. it puts me in such a good mood. unfortunately, i'm still sick, so i can't fully enjoy the day, but nonetheless i'm feeling rather at peace.
so why do i love the rain? why is it that the one side of nature that depresses most people actually lift my spirits?
i love the smell of rain in the air before the first drop ever falls. i love waking up on a rainy day, cozy and wrapped up in my blankets in bed with the damp cold air making it even colder in my room. i love sitting in a dark room with just a window open because the light is dim even at noon. i love sitting here on the couch, or in my room on the recliner, with a warm mug of chai as i sit here typing away with the rain as my background music.
then there are the two things i love most about rain. the first being that it cools everything off. i know that i will get to wear long sleeves today, and that makes me so happy. something about the coziness of even a light weight long-sleeved shirt makes me absolutely giddy.
the other thing i love is how everything looks after a good rain. it's the artist in me. colors pop, and everything looks and feels more alive after the rain has finally dwindled, but before the sun returns. even once the sun does shine through the dark sky, everything just takes on a whole new life, and i want to capture it all and soak it in for as long as possible.
on the more, er, perhaps unbelievable side of it all, i am a pisces true and true. water always has a tendancy to make me feel better, so it's no surprise that the rain lifts me up, rather than depressing me. regardless of why, i think i shall go use this time of inspiration wisely and get some homework done, and then maybe work on a painting. it's going to be tough, though, as i have two very cuddly kitties on me, who also love rainy days.
much love to all,
=e
