Dear Readers,
I have written about rain before, but I don't believe I mentioned one of my favorite aspects about it. Listening to it can calm just about any emotion. With rain as background noise, a person can picture great situations that are like memories from the future. Just tonight, after our band concert, I pulled into our driveway and sat there for a good ten minutes just listening to the rain, first pounding on the roof of the car and later merely sprinkling on it. My thoughts went something like this:
Just getting home from the concert, I thought about the recognition given to those who received it tonight. It was our senior night, comparable to any sport that honors their seniors on their last game. I am so proud of the seniors we've had this year. We've had so much fun: on tour, at concerts and even performing at festivals. I received an award from our instructor called the "Director's Choice" award. I feel very honored that Mr. Bateman thought to give it to me. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
My thoughts soon turned to dancing in the rain, due to the talk my friends have about it. One friend of mine put dancing in the rain on her bucket list. As that popped into my head, I thought of spending a few moments in the rain with someone just twirling. We would both get soaked, but wouldn't care. It sounds so appealing.
I then thought of what I needed to do in the next week and came back to the real world. Practice, practice, practice. Plan, Plan, plan. Lots of work that needs to be done to make life better all around. Listening to the rain still makes me smile, just like some other things. :)
