Why do people dislike rain so much? In my opinion, rain is actually a soothing, beautiful thing. Rain blurs everything, making everything around you seem softer and fresher. No one has problems with mist. Rain is just really heavy mist...that falls instead of hanging in the air. If it didn't rain, how would things get cleaned up in towns that don't have street sweepers?
Besides, rain means puddle jumping. Rain means wearing galoshes and a shiny, yellow slicker. Rain is an excuse to be six again because, after all, who's going to be able to tell whether you just got caught running in from your car or you went out and jumped in the puddles for five minutes?
What if we all let go, just once, and played in the rain. Imagine, seventy-year-old people dancing in the rain with their walkers. How great would that be? No one would talk about a generation gap, because six-year-olds, teenagers, adults, and the elderly would all have something in common. It might be a problem for world peace, as those who live in the desert might get jealous... but I'm sure we'd figure something out.
Anyway, to sum up this entry: HOORAY FOR RAIN! Now, I'm going to go curl up and read, then fall asleep to the sound of falling rain.
