Dancing in the rain ...

I love rain. One of my most favorite activities is dancing in the rain. Or watching the rain fall around me while I'm standing on a covered deck. Or running outside during my work day while fully clothed.

I did the last one today. And it was beautiful.

We had a glorious rainstorm during work today. The last time we had one, I watched it from indoors, wishing that I could run around in the rain. By the end of my work day, the rain had stopped, and I was bummed.

Not today. Today I danced in the rain.

I ran outside, in the midst of the falling rain, and savored every moment of it. The cool droplets of water running down my face, my shirt and pants soaked. I didn't care. I was so unbelievably happy.

This "therapy" is way better than any prescription drug that I could take. I need to dance in the rain more often.

So the next time it rains, know that if I'm able to, I'll be dancing in it. And I'll be happy. :-)
