Quiet Rain

I awoke to the sound of a soft rain this morning. I stayed in bed for a couple hours extra this morning with a strange headache. I made some coffee and sat outside on the front porch. The rain had stopped and the leaves on all the trees were still coated in tiny droplets.

I love the sound of the water still dripping from the tall trees around the house. I sat there thinking about how little time I devote to stopping the spinning thoughts in my head. I have drifted away from that habit over the last year. I am going to make an effort every day to do something like this. I have been getting so caught up in life, that I have forgotten to slow down. It's so easy to blur past the beautiful things. What's the point of living if you do that.
