Journaling about rain sounds

I love the sound of the rain! It’s more of a torrential kerplunk-kerplunk today than a pitter-patter in my corner of the world so you could get a good drum beat going to it. Then if you spend a few minutes thinking of what rain reminds you of, your rain song is going to practically write itself!

The sound of the rain reminds me of cosy moments by the fire, quiet rambles through the evergreens, surprise city downpours, the dramatic swish and spray of rainwater under car hubcaps, biking home racing the cloud deluge (and losing, but continuing on anyway!), and hilarious field trips when I was a kid when the teachers made us garbage bag rain gear and sent us on outdoor adventures.

I’ve learned you can curse the rain, but it’ll ignore you and pour anyway. Sometimes rain changes your plans. Rain is about letting go! Sometimes, if you let yourself, you can enjoy it—splish splash! Kids get that, and dogs do, too, but it’s easy to forget the fun of it.

Is your rain song moody? Romantic? Or does it rock to the steady driving beat?

This week, journal with me on what the sound of rain reminds you of. Maybe it’ll lead to a poem or a song.

Cheers to rainy days,

Suzanne
