The beauty of rain

I went for a walk today, despite the drizzling rain. I took my hood and my flowery umbrella. I could hear the rain drops falling on the umbrella, the birds chirping. I looked at the rain drops hanging from the still bare tree branches, looking like little diamonds among the colorful new buds. I felt the solid ground under my feet and I smelled the air - did you ever notice how much more fragrant the air is in the rain? Many people dismiss a rainy/cloudy day, but if we stop and use our senses to be in the moment, we discover its beauty. Same goes for any situation in life. Instead of judging it or trying to avoid it, notice its hidden beauty. During my walk I felt more alive, calmer and I caught myself smiling.
