So I experienced my first rain yesterday in over 6 months. I was really excited to see it. Me and the roommates just went out and played in it. We let ourselves get soaked to the bone and when the wind blew, we would marvel at the fact that we had chill bumps on our arms. It was the first time in so long I've genuinely been cold. I wanted to go put on a jacket just because I could have worn it without sweating, but I decided to enjoy being cold instead. We danced around singing "Kiss the Rain," even though we could only remember those 3 words....so we just kinda sang them over and over again.
It was a fun afternoon, and really refreshing that I can truly appreciate something like a big rain. I mean I've always liked rain, enjoy the smell, like watching clouds roll in, but I don't think I've ever been thankful enough for it to just stand outside in the midst of it...to run and play..and take pictures...and just be a part of a moment that before had just been a routine occurrence. I'm not saying that I appreciate everything like I should....there's stuff to be a part of everyday and to simply enjoy it.......but yesterday, I was a part of the rain....and it was amazing.
