It's never been a secret: my love of the rain. I love the way it smells, I love the way it sounds, I love the way it feels... ~ I DANCE in the RAIN ~
~ Today, it's raining... I often think how smart two of my doxie pups are when they choose to "go" under the trampoline ~ it's like a big umbrella for them. Meanwhile, it's my Molly who just stands around taking her time in the rain ~ today I noticed her close her eyes and raise her head to the sky...
Just the other day I was talking with my sister about my love of the rain. My niece was walking around in it, hands stretched out with her face to the sky, letting the rain droplets kiss her face. She gets that from me, my sister said... because I do that also, every time it rains...
So today, I looked at my Molly in a new way... she just wanted to feel the kiss of the rain on her face too. Afterwards, she frolicked around for a few minutes as if feeling rejuvenated.
Rain does that for me too...
When I was about to go inside, I noticed the cat sitting by the screen door in the same position she's always in when we go outside. And immediately I thought, she wants to feel that too. So I scooped up my sweet indoor kitty and took her outside. I held her in my arms. She sniffed around and then tilted her head back to the sky and she closed her eyes for a moment. Then she gently mewed. I'm not sure if that "mew" was thank you or take me back inside... I'm curious to see if she waits by the door next time...
A few years ago, I took my son out for one of our special mother/son dates. It was raining when we got home. He paused and let the rain kiss his cheeks. I asked him if he wanted to dance in the rain and so we did. His smile was radiant. He said it was the best day of his life. ~One of mine too, buddy...
❤ "Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain". ❤
