It was a rainy day, and so I waited until after it stopped raining to head out this evening. But I walked outside to the sounds of raindrops smacking the ground, and I thought, “Dang, I didn’t realize it was still raining.”
I ran to the car and proceeded to Starbucks. After Ryan and I sat down, the rain subsided.
Leaving Starbucks a little later, I noticed that it was still sprinkling. As I drove home, the intensity of the rain grew and grew. By the time I got back to the apartment, it was a regular downpour. All of the close spots were taken, so I sat in the visitor parking for a few minutes contemplating my next move. It seemed as though the Red Sea separated me from the building. And I didn’t have a staff to part the waters.
It had been a while since I walked through the rain, so I opted to take off my watch and shoes, and saunter through the rain.
I got soaked, but it was good. I heartily recommend a stroll through the rain. It’s refreshing.
