Rainy Afternoon Thoughts

What is it exactly about rain that makes me think? When I am sitting in my bedroom either on the bed or at my desk and I hear the rain against my window, I begin to think. I do not think the usual thoughts of what I am doing next, or what needs to be done, but thoughts that are deep. Sometimes I reminisce, other times I think about my future. 'How I feel' will also cross my mind quite often when the wind blows. Although the storms are pretty noisy themselves, I will usually add music to the mix. My play-list for the rain consists of Coldplay, Michael Buble, John Mayer and Sara Barreillis to name a few. It is so nice to relax and just think during these times of mental content in the midst of atmospherically chaos. It can really open your eyes to ideas you had never thought of before. Intense negative feelings can be alleviated while the good ones are just intensified. The drive and fire in you can be stoked and can truly be beneficial. Painful thoughts and bad memories can be smothered by the relaxation brought on by nature's very own storm therapy. Bring on the wind, rain, thunder and lightning. I want my mind to keep going.
