Today it is raining heavily in Glasgow... stoating, bouncing, stair-rods, cats 'n' dogs, bucketing, whatever expression you want it is doing it.  And in a few minutes I will wrap up in my waterproofs, pick up my jolly frog umbrella and walk through it to the first of today's appointments.

I like walking in rain, so long as it's a chosen, if necessary, activity.  When conditions are right, I like getting soaked to the skin and then enjoying the warmth of getting dry again afterwards!  I like splashing in puddles (I never quite grew up) though I don't like it when drivers see splashing pedestrians as a fun game to play.  I like the shinyness of the washed world after the rain, and the rich smell of freshly watered earth.

Today I like simply that I can go out in the rain, that I have health and strength enough so to do.  I like that there is almost always loveliness if we seek it.

Nothing especially profound, just the joy of life in all its fullness.
