Do you enjoy the rain?

I like it when it rains, when I can watch the water roll down the side of the house from my window. Today, it's raining again but it feels like it's making me more sad but that's just because I'm already in a bad mood. Do you like the rain?

It depends. For the most part I don't really "like" the rain. Well in the winter I don't like it as much because it brings cool weather with it. and, the rain itself is cold and chills my bones. I don't neccerally get sick, but I don't enjoy the feeling of being cold eaither. However, if I'm home all day and what not then I won't be wet or cold. So it can rain all it wants as long as I don't have to go out in it.

Yes, it's much easier to like the rain when we're indoors in the warmth of our house. When it rains it certainly is a lot colder. There are some places where the rain season is in the summer so that might be more enjoyable (but then again, it might not feel so good to be humid and wet).

Yes, I really do enjoy the rain. I enjoy just watching fall. I find that it's very relaxing. I find that it's very peaceful. I've always liked the rain, for one reason or another.

It is very relaxing indeed. Most times it relaxes me too but I also notice it adds a certain sad element when I'm feeling down. Still, it is very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for your response.

Hey anime! I kinda like the rain too for many different reasons! I once wrote a poem abou the rain and it was pubiished on a Poetry Website! It was a rather sad poem, but nonetheless how I truly felt! I have a strange feeling about the rain! I love to watch it streaming down the window paines and listentng to the noise that it makes when it does that! And although it tends to make feel rather sad and alone it just brings out this feeling inside of me that I can't truly explain! I just kind of thrive on it, as sick as that sounds! Maybe if you had read my poem you might get a better understanding, or not! I juar have a strange understanding and connection with the rain, I guess as they are tears and I feel comfort when I see them streming down a window! I guess it is just the artist in me~ No other expanation that I can put into words~

Rain is beautiful but also a little saddening at the same time. Congratulations on your poem, Opal. It doesn't surprise though, since you already seem have so many great ideas based on your comments.

I love the rain! I don't like to drive in it but if I am at home and it is raining I seem to be in a really good mood I love to hear the thunder and watch the lightning but from inside I love it!

Yes, driving in the rain is a big hassle. I don't drive but when I'm in a car, I see the driver getting very frustrated when it rains. Indoors, however, watching rain or lighting is great. Thanks for your response.

If your country is typhoon stricken, you will not like rain. Every year we have 20 to 25 typhoons in the country. The last two typhoons that hit our country were caused us floods for more than a month or so.

Yes, I enjoy the rain. I don't know why, but the soft pouring of the rain makes me feel a little nostalgic. I like to watch the rain and curl up with a good book while raining. I also like it when it rained outside while I'm walking. It makes me walk slow and get to enjoy the beauty of nature, the glistening leaves, the gray skies.

I love the rain.playing in the rain can make you forget your worries and think like a child.looking at rain falling from the sky is relaxing.rain is nature's way of cleaning up the air and making the environment cooler.rain can either symbolize a good or bad feeling.for me,I think of rain in a more of positive outlook.
