I love the sound of the rain, it gives me a nostalgic, warm, fuzzy feeling that I’ve come to associate with bed.

It’s been raining quite frequently these past few weeks. Although it’s a drag when I have to go to work, because I have to take out my umbrella and commuting is such a pain when it’s raining… but I actually find myself looking forward to curling up in my bed in the evening, listening to the rain fall outside.

Last night, it was raining pretty hard and I got wet trying to get home from work. When I got home, I took a nice, warm bath, cooked some soup, got some chips and milk from the fridge, and curled on the sofa to watch reruns of my favorite TV show before, the now defunct, Charmed. It might be a pretty boring pastime for some, but at that particular moment, listening to the rain outside, I was contented and I felt I was right where I needed to be.

Let me share with you some of the things that comes to my mind when it’s raining. I imagine:

• staying at home, eating ice cream
• being with a loved one, cuddling
• a kiss in the rain
• hanging out with friends at my house
• curled up in my bed, reading a good book
• sitting in front of a window, watching the rain
• playing chess or card games with my brother
• long talks with my cousins
• videoke/karaoke, singing like there’s no tomorrow
• chatting with my best friend, clutching pillows
• a nice warm shower
• watching TV/DVD’s, eating snacks
• playing a computer game
• grabbing coffee with a friend or alone
• warm chocolate with marshmallows

These are just some of the things I think of when it’s raining. I haven’t really done each and every one of them, but I sure would love doing them once I get the chance. How about you, do you love the rain too? What are some of the things you think of when it’s raining?
