Rainy Days

As I sit on the stairs, and look up into the gray sky, I look forward to the rain. The gloomy sky, the dark and rainy clouds hovering over us on a Sunday afternoon, I love it. It reminds me of all the rainy days I’ve spent with my family back at home, cooking and cleaning, making the best out of a rainy day. The smell of moist air, the sound of the soft raindrops against the windowsill, brings music to my ears. The rain brings lush to the green grass, washes away the heat, and brings in a cool breeze as the night approaches. Hearing the blaring thunder, seeing the burning lightning light up the sky as the rain pours brings peace to my mind. Feeling the breeze in my hair as I sit on the stairs, reminds me of the memories I made in South Florida on rainy days like this. As much as I love to see the sun come out, it’s always nice to have calm rainy days to clear your thoughts and being your week on the right note. Watching the trees sway back and forth, as if the trees have been waiting for the rain to quench their thirst. The heat has dried up all the beautiful plants around, the thirst for rain was strong. As much as the sun brings out the beauty of nature, the rain reinstates the beautiful colors outside. There’s nothing like a rainbow to magnify the beautiful sky after a well needed storm. It’s always nice to have calm rainy days to clear your thoughts and begin your week with an unclouded mind.
