Count a storm's raindrops

Not a great pic but about an hour ago a huge rain storm came through, no way anyone could count the drops, but it was so enjoyable to just listen too…and let my mind drift.

I have to say lately I have thought about this A LOT.

Well, I haven’t thought about this for awhile, but we are starting to get a lot of rain….I will try to enjoy and count as many drops as I can! Isn’t rain magical?! I sometimes just watch it from a window in a nice dry place, but in the near future I think I am going to enjoy being out in it more!

well we have a lot of snow today, and I took a moment to look out the office front door and I counted 54 flakes in about one minute…there are a lot of flakes out there! :-) I could have stood there for hours counting. But it was a nice short break while it lasted anyway!

(yeah this is not rain, but I doubt we get rain for a few months, snow is all I have right now, and I am actually loving the snow!)

maybe I should change this to ‘snowflakes’...aren’t snowflakes easier to count. I know last year we had some HUGE flakes, it was beautiful…we’ll see what the next month brings and see if I can find some time to count some snowflakes. :-)

This might open the door to some sort of counting obsession…

It’s raining today…been raining off and on. I think I have realized that this goal is impossible, but so worth trying.

I think the times I get to relax and just sit and watch the rain are priceless. The whole world stops. It’s getting renewed and soaking it all in, things are growing and being nurished. It’s like life in a way.

We need renewed and nurished. We need to keep growing and living and learning. We only get one chance at this world right…why not spend some of it watching the rain? Letting yourself drift…A lot of thinking can be done while you watch the rain and listen to it hit the pavement, the trees, the roof…

Yep…it’s raining today….I wish I were home watching it! Can ya tell I’m doing a lot of thinking about life lately?! Isn’t it weird we can go through and think we have it all figured out and then we change, life changes…things just change. We grow…people around us grow. It’s exciting, but wow I can’t believe it keeps happening and I am sure growth will continue to happen for many years to come! “What do I want to do when I grow up?” :-)

Tried again this weekend. I think I was distracted though, I mean it was pouring and hard to see the rain drops and my mind drifted. I wanted to talk to a friend, but realized it’s not one of those friends you just call up. It’s more complicated then that, yet so simple too. Anyway I drifted off into a conversation in my head…bit and pieces of things then drifted into fantasy vacations, and even drifted to my wedding day and the joy and magic that I felt during that trip. And thought about all the good times that are still ahead….anyway the rain drop counting didn’t really happen, but wow what a relaxing hour or so I spent watching it.

It would be great to have the time and peace of mind to sit and count raindrops, I’m going to do this one day (I have had a lot of opportunities the past week or so with all this rain!) We will see if I can mark this one off my list. It might sound impossible, but one will never know until she tries.
