Photo Friday #37

Rain has become an unfamiliar entity to me. I used to hate the rain; it was irritating and inconvenient and made for uncomfortable walks home. I have come to appreciate it though these last few years. To me, rain brings a sense of calm. It forces me to relax and to take a step back, all of which I need desperately. I now appreciate the tin-roof sound it makes against the window and the grayness it brings with it. This is a reminder that even in the midst of mid-term season, it is important to find something that makes you take a moment for yourself.
