I love the rain!

November 26, 2012 5:25am CST
It is POURING down here in the UK at the moment and the wind is blowing non-stop! And while it is causing problems for some, I'm lucky enough to safe and warm inside. I love just listening to it. It even inspires me when I'm writing. But it would seem I'm part of the minority. Most people don't like it. They say it's depressing, gloomy etc. I don't particularly enjoy going OUT in it though....

i envy you for having a different view on the rain. i think i share the view of the most people that you mentioned. for me, it is not only gloomy and depressing. rain disallows me to go out freely. i like outdoors, but the rain stops all of my outdoor plans. at this time, it is very cold that's why i prefer to stay inside the house. however, the rain makes me catch up with my reading.

I think rain is wonderful. I like to go out in the rain and let the water pour all over me. It is quite relaxing. I do find it irritating when I have to go and take care of some urgent business and can't do it because of the rain. Otherwise, rain is definitely good.

I love the rain too however we haven't gotten any rain here in quite awhile. Right now in the US it is cold, windy and snowy. I prefer rain over snow any day. It's only been 30 degrees here and at night it's been in the low 20's. I hate winter, worst time of the year.

I also love rain but not love bathing in rain because I am suffered from sneezing problem. But I have observed most of the child or young age persons love to bath in the rain.

I love the rain and hate the wind. I'm inspired by snowfall and the cold weather. There is nothing better to do than sit in front of the fireplace and glance over at the logs burning and type away. I leave in the mornings for work and return in the early evening. I can get all settled in for a night of fun on mylot in just about any weather.

I love it when it rains as well. I like to hear it hit the rooftop. I like to curl up with a good book. If it is a cold rain I might have a cup of hot tea or coffee or even hot chocolate to enjoy the time. I also love to sleep while it is raining. To me it is very comforting. Now getting out in it is another thing. I don't mind dancing in the rain during the warm months but not when it is cold.

Along with the sunshine, there's got to be a little rain. I love listening to the rain hitting the roof on a rainy day. It's nice to sit inside and listen to the rain while covering up with a comforter and watching a movie and eating popcorn. I can appreciate a rainy day, as long as I don't have to be out in it. I do get where people are saying that rainy days are gloomy, because they want to be outside or they've been inside and there has been a lack of sun. We need both.

From where I am a little rain is okay but a lot of it is disaster. I like it when it rains because it cools down the temperature which is very warm here. A heavy rain worries us though because some areas here gets flooded easily.

Sometimes the weather is quite relate to one's mood.Sunny days always make me feel warm,happy and active.And rain make me feel a little sad or depressed.But sometimes I really enjoy the lonely rain,it could calm me down to remind me many things--the past,or someone. The feeling which the rain gives me is really wonderful.

I've always loved the rain, especially laying on the bed under the covers and hearing it hit the roof. I don't know why some people don't enjoy the rain. I love it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEdC0c3YI4

Sunny England - Fred the frog with an umbrella in the rain.
Raining in England? I do not believe you. I have seen rain but it is very rare. Seriously though, it can be enjoyable to listen to rain outside when we are safely secure in our home, but it is definitely bad news if we are outdoors at the time. With the wind often blowing so severely we end up with horizontal rain, which is virtually impossible to avoid and even makes an umbrella quite useless.
