Loved the rain

Thanks to the passing typhoon, we just had some heavy rains for the past few days. Actually my daughter and I just came in after running and playing on the street while there's a heavy downpour. She was truly ecstatic, running around with a few children also playing in the rain. I remember the time when my mom won't allow us to have a bath in the rain. I decided not to be like that. I want my kids to enjoy playing in the rain, I'd even join them. It should be part of growing up as children. Of course, this should always be a proper bath afterwards.

I just love it when it rains. Just rain, not the devastatingly heavy typhoon. It allows me to have some quiet time and reflect while watching raindrops fall on the ground or make some ripples on the puddle. It is also calming to see the leaves' slight movements as rains hit them. It also reminds me to have my umbrella repaired o just buy a new one for I remembered I still got wet even with the umbrella for it already had some holes ;). Oh well, we'll be having several rains (as always) since rainy season has begun. That means more rain baths to come.

So you, when have you had your rain bath?
