Rain, Rain I Love it today! It has been raining all day, and even though my daughter's 1st grade field trip to the nature retreat center was cancelled due to it, I still love the rain! I think the best part of it is that it forces me to slow down. One of my most favorite things to do it to take a nap with the windows open and smell and listen to the rain. I love the cool breeze that comes in and whispers "its okay that you're taking a nap instead of doing something else right now". I wish I could just learn to slow down and enjoy a little nap on days when its not raining out too.
Note to self, you can do this whenever you choose :)
Hi Andrea! I love the rain too, it is my favorite weather, even over the sunny goodness we often have here in S. Calif. (maybe because we only get rain a few times a year?!) I really need that nap you are describing right now. Slowing down and enjoying is the exact message I needed to hear this morning. Thanks friend.

Hi Andrea
ReplyDeleteYou should come and live in Yorkshire, it rains a LOT! Loving the sunshine which has just started to emerge...
How about hanging some wet paintings outside and seeing what the rain does with the colours?
