when you see, hear, or feel the rain coming down on you or on the roof where you are, what comes into your mind or how does it make you feel? do you remember something or somebody? or do you just get irritated?

Maybe because my family experienced flooding last year (our whole house was flooded and even surpassed our roof), that's why when I see that it's raining especially the heavy kind of rain I feel uneasy and worried. I wasn't like this before I even liked it when it was raining because that means the temperature will cool down, but after the flood my view on rain changed.

I love the sound of rain, it makes me relax. I feel calm when I hear the rain. I also love to walk in the rain. In the rain I forget everything and only listen to the sound of the water. I remember living in Curacao. There when it would rain it would not be so warm. I would sit on the veranda and just feel the cool breeze come along with the rain. It felt great.

that's nice, margajoe. that's exactly how i feel when i hear the sound of the rain. in small drops or big splattering, the sound of rain on whatever they fall on always makes me smile. i get peaceful thoughts and a warm feeling. rain also reminds me of a special person in my life. tnx for the comment!

Hi. zapatee. I don't get irritated. All I can think of is that I need to get my umbrella ready so that I can cover up myself from the hard rain! I don't remember anyone special. Just only the wet rain. If I had somewhere that I had to go on this day, I would get very irritated.

haha! that's true, especially when it's about something urgent or important. but for me, i still try to savor the nice feeling it brings when all is quiet except the sound of rain.

Hi! If i am at work when it rains, I think of how I would get home and how wet I would be, especially if it is raining hard. lol. But when I am at home when it rains, it's music to my ears. I like the cool air rain brings and the sound of splashing on the roof which sounds different when it finally falls on the ground.
