It is raining heavily today. I love the rain. In fact it is my favourite weather. I know many people find a rainy day to be a gloomy time, but for me it is soothing and calming.

I remember when I was a kid sitting in front of the open door and just looking out into the rainy day. Everything looked beautiful to me. The rain made everything look different and strange yet at the same time inviting. For a kid, it was like looking at a different world, as if the rain actually opens a doorways to another land.

Now as an adult, the rain helps me relax. As I absentmindedly look out at the pouring rain, my mind don’t actually register the things I see, but instead, it simply wonders. The sound rain drops becomes the background music to my thoughts.
