Walking In The Rain

Walking In The Rain

On Tuesday I went for a walk in the rain. It had been sunny earlier, but I figured I would just go later. Then about 7:00 p.m. I jumped up and decided to go. I put on my sneaks, jacket and bounced out the door. Once I opened the door of my building I felt cool drops of water hit me. At first disappointment set in because I wanted to walk! Recently my knee has been bothering me a bit and I figured exercise was what it needed. (I hurt my knee my senior year in high school and now it hates me sometimes. ^_^) Moping down the stairs back to my apartment I looked at my door and then back at the door that led outside. I so did want to walk and it was only a little rain, so I bounced back up the stairs and went for a walk in the rain. There is just something about rain that I love. I also adore cloudy skies because it is darker and the sun bothers my eyes. The air was fresh with that spring smell all around me. Some people had just trimmed their lawns so the smell of freshly cut grass lingered as well. Walking alone is one of the most theraputic things for me to do. It gives me a chance to enjoy my surroundings and reflect on my life, people and the future. A peace comes over me that I can't describe because it just puts me in such a good mood that words would not suffice. The sights, the sounds and the smells just engulf me and I realize what a good life I have. It helps me not worry and makes me feel positive about things. Yes, I will find a job, learn to drive, get a car and a new apartment once I move back to Hibbing. Things are going to turn out great and that is the best feeling in the world.

One of the best things about my little walk was that I found a small waterfall not too far from where I live. Most of you know there is a park near me on 4th Street, but the waterfall was on 3rd!!! At first the sound of rushing water clammering in my ears was confusing at first. As I continued walking I saw a metal fence and realized the odd noise I was hearing was coming from the cute little waterfall. I gasped with delight and leaned over the fence, but not too far. If anyone saw me I'm sure they thought I had never seen a waterfall before, but I was so ecstatic to see a waterfall only a few blocks away from where I lived. I vowed to go back and take photos of it with my digital camera, but the weather has not been good. I would love to go when the sun is out so the greens and browns pop out more.

Tonight I am once again headed home, for tomorrow is Jae's wedding shower! ^_^ Yaaaay! I'm so happy for Warumono and Jae and I wish them the absolute best!

I had heard from Tech TV (I don't even think they call it that anymore. *sad*) that there was a cool clothing store online called Jinx, so I decided to finally check it out. That store is sw33t!! I am now the proud owner of 2 shirts! One is a human barcode and the other is a D&D shirt. It has all the dice and underneathe the dice it says, "Choose your weapon." I <3 that store so much and even joined their newsletter to get discounts! *nods* These discounts will come in handy when I have a job. Ok, off to pack for the weekend. *happy!*
