Thunderstorms are one of my favorite things... Especially at night. After milking last night I stood outside and let the rain poor down on me as I watched the sky crack and light up. Probably should of done this when I got home because my car smelt like wet cow poo the whole drive home. Lesson learned.
I always wake up feeling so refreshed when it's storming out. Something about the lightshow, the noise, the sound of rain hitting my window; it all relaxes me like nothing else. It makes me more lazy then I normally am. I just want to sit outside in a blanket and listen to the rain gently fall, the birds singing, and the frogs croaking.
Everything always looks so fresh after a storm. I don't mean fresh like how some rappers use it. "Aaaaiiii boi those new shoes are so fresh, my (insert N word here)" I mean fresh as in the literal way. The grass is sparkling, the leaves on the tree's are dripping water slowly onto the ground and my car isn't totally covered in mud. If my view right now was to be described as a food it would be a piece of lettuce that has just been washed in the sink and now, as you tear it up, you can hear the distinct crunch. Boom. Perfect analogy.
I love humidity. Storms also bring me this. I love the heaviness in the air after a thunder storm. I want to have the thick air surround my body as I just sit there and enjoy it. This is why I am lazy today. The windows in the house are open and I can feel the humidity all around me. Although the sound of the dishwasher running isn't the same as birds chirping, I feel relaxed. I feel lazier then a fish trying to swim in peanut butter.
Today I plan on cleaning my room (hopfully this will actually happen) and eating lots of junk food. Maybe I'll watch Dr. Phil with dad on his lunch break. Today is a good day that isn't being wasted because I am going to enjoy every minute of it. I'm not going to feel guilty for staying in my PJ's all day and only leaving the house to see my ponies. I am going to live each day to the fullest, starting with some BBQ chips and a glass of orange juice.
I hope you all can enjoy this mucky weather for what it is and find a stillness in the air like I can. It's beautiful feeling if you choose to enjoy it.
Much Love,
Megan
Sounds like a great day. Wish I enjoyed the storm as much as you. They just make me nervous. But I do appreciate the after storm crisp lettuce feeling! Some days are just better appreciated with lettuce on the mind and BBQ chip breath........
