If you've had a hard day and it's rain-storming outside in the evening, consider going for an hour long walk in the rain just for fun and the experience.
Have you ever been so saturated that your clothes won't take any more water and torrents are streaming down your chest and all the way down the inside of your legs and into your runners?
Being out in a storm is beautiful.
And when you come home, have a hot shower and feel cozy.
It's true and I see it often at the mall as most people "flee for their lives" to shelter as a light drizzle begins to fall... others don't care because they know they're not soluble and nature isn't their enemy.
I can second the suggestion. At some point as a teenager, it was raining out and I felt a strange compulsion to to out and just walk around in it. It was probably only fifteen minutes or so, but I just let it surround me, alone. It was a positive experience that is vivid to me almost two decades later. No real mental aim or purpose to it, either. No revelation. Not the only time I've been thoroughly rained on.
I was cycling once and a solid spring shower came up on me while I was at least a few miles away from my car. So I just kept at it, and it was one of the most memorable of my then daily bike rides. It was thrilling, working out hard with the cold rain falling on me was invigorating, my physical senses were going all over between working out and all the rain hitting me as I was cycling fairly fast through it. Definitely worth being out in a rainstorm sometime and just surrender to the fact you'll get soaked, so you can then just enjoy the moments.
I love the rain and being in it. Storms bring my awareness to a new level - almost like I'm being charged up.
Funny story about the rain. My best friend and I lived together for a short while when we were in our early twenties. Both of us were involved with the wrong men and realized together one evening that we needed to move on and be free of their toxicity. It happened to be storming while we had our discussion, so I suggested we go out and let the rain cleanse us so we could start fresh. As we stepped out off of her porch, the rain was coming down in torrents; almost like we were standing in front of a fire hydrant. We also noted it was filled with sticks, leaves and sweetgum balls. In our quest for a cleansing, we hadn't realized the spout had broken off at the top of the gutter, so we were being showered with compost that had been stuck in there forever. We both had a good laugh, realized the irony of the situation, and then went in to take a real shower.
I love the title you wrote. We've had a relentless winter here, and we're looking forward to hearing the frogs in our pond. It's very comforting to know that they've somehow survived another winter.
Listening to David Straight's seminar on the legal system, our government and how to become an American State National. It's an excellent, easier to understand process than I thought. I want to get off the train of this circus and become truly free of this corrupt govt. His seminar is on utube. 6 parts, starts with this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb_l9sHEWl8

Because why not?
Us motorcyclists have a saying: "Some people ride in the rain. Other people just get wet."

I had my boots fill up with water when my longjohns were soaked through.
I love this.
Some hype for our night crew. LET'S GOOOOO
Worst part about driving in the rain? I can’t have the window open to listen to the turbochargers.
Oh. Wrong storm. I hope it’s almost over, I’m tired
Amen! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!

I am in Hawaii for the next two months. I actually fall asleep to the sounds of frogs croaking. KEK! True story!

Despite our pains, I have gratitude for being given the opportunity to be stronger to fight another day despite losses. Thank you fren.
