Rain Drops

While rubbing the sleep from my eyes and heading for the shower this morning I had a moment of pause. I came to the realization that on most days I don't notice the rain, this morning however it was at the forefront of my mind. I sat a moment and just listened and it was comforting. Rather then go about my morning in the usual drone like manner that most of us do at 5 am I decided that I'd have breakfast and some coffee.

While enjoying my coffee and staring out the window I started to think about how fast paced life is these days and how little we really take a moment to stop and enjoy "Simple" things. These musings brought me back to my childhood where everything was care free and the pace was much slower. Where did the big change occur? Was it a single event or a string of events that changed my perception of how I should be making my way through life? How might things have been different had I taken the time to really enjoy the journey?

With these thoughts in my mind I decided that if for nothing else Today was going be different, call it an experiment of sorts. Today I'm going to walk when I feel I should run, I'm going to acknowledge when I might normally have ignored. Today I'm going to enjoy every moment as if its the last and see what difference I might experience from my normal daily grind.

To think some people don't like the rain....
