Why is it do you think that we close ourselves in so much when it rains? Why is it do you think that we don't open the door or window in order to hear it clearly? I don't understand why rain is always associated with depression and all things sad and yet after a rain everything grows better than it did when being hand watered. Crazy thought huh?
Something that helps
plants 
and other things become brand new brings up old memories and thoughts in you.
I get the most inspired when it rains. Maybe for me because everything seems to slow down. I got out and stay in the store a little bit longer than usual and it almost seems that it is dark outside and i am in the store on some secret shopping spree. The smell is amazing too. For the brief time that it rains you no longer smell exhaust. You smell green, you smell life.
