The rain outside of my window just tricked me.

You know those split seconds where something reminds you so strongly of some place or some time or some... something? I felt for the briefest moment like I was lying in my bed listening to a rain storm dragging spring along. Like it had been a long winter and I was hearing the first sign of spring with all of its blossoming and warmth and sunshine along with rain. And then a split second later my mind caught up with my feelings and reminded me of the fact that it's November and that spring is a long time away, and I've got to go through winter before I can get to my favorite season again.

I don't know. For a moment I felt content. I felt like I was where I wanted to be. And yeah, that's still true here in November. I am content. Things aren't perfect by any means, but when are they ever? I'm here and that's not going away and certain parts of my life are really great. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. I guess I felt some hope for a split second in the midst of the kinda not so great things going on in my life. And it felt good.

I love rain. As long as it's not a tropical storm, I find it soothing and wonderful.

ya see...i would loveeee to have wonderful rain moments like this but ever since i started sleeping over at mollys like 4 days a week I never know if it is raining or not anymore becasue she falls asleep to simulated rain sounds so it is 100%normal to wake up to rain every morning...so i am envious of this post.
