What is it that makes the rain so peaceful? Is it the smell? The sound? Maybe the feel of it on our skin. The rain is common here in Sydney, which would surprise many people due to Australia's responsibility to be sunny all the time. At the moment that responsibility is lacking.
When the rain begins to fall here, i get pretty happy where many of my friends don't because it ruins their plans. I am one of those people that would rather sit inside on a rainy day with my favourite book, a warm hot chocolate and a cozy blanket with dozens of pillows. It brings me comfort and relaxation to hear the rain pitter-pattering on my pavement outside the window. All the frustrations in my mind can be cleared just by a bit of water falling from the sky.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a summer girl! I love the beach and wearing shorts but the rain is something special. It reminds me of freedom when the droplets of rain fall from the big heavy clouds and it reminds me of possibilities when the huge rainbow appears after the storm has passed. Rain is something i need in my life to calm myself from stress. The rain works best. It's Better than any song you could play on any ipod, better than any smell that could come from the kitchen, better visually than any picture you could paint.
A shower of hope and guidance falls from the sky but who would have thought that it is what makes me who i am. Even though it doesn't come every day, but that just makes it even more special. Things that don't come by often make us thankful for when they are around.
