Brave new world

I love waking up in the morning and finding it has rained.

The ground is wet, the air slightly chilly.

When you breathe in, you smell a thousand different things: the wet earth, the new leaves, the clear sky.

Birds everywhere chirp and whoop and squeak, in a melodious cacophony.

The world is clear and new, just like after the first snowfall of winter, but alive instead of dead.

I love those days.

I just love waking up every morning. As far as I know it sure beats the alternative.
