rainy skies

Here I am, sitting on my window sill, looking out at the cloudy-black sky and its gentle downpour. An occasional flash of lightening followed by a thick, gruff rumbling from the thundering clouds. The sound of car wheels, as they run over the rain-wet road. The soft ripples in the puddles. The strings of rain- illuminated by the cars' flooding headlights. The chilled breeze blowing through my hair....
It's peaceful to sit here...just short of depressing. The rain usually alleviates my mood and takes me to a happy, dreamy place; but today, not so much. It has put me in a strange mood. I'm not sad, however I'm not happy either. It's an in-between feeling I'm not so sure how to express.

I'm using music to help keep me from feeling low. Rain and music- two extremely powerful ways to control your moods. The rain you have no control over. I feel it just exaggerates the mood you already are in. If you're feeling a little low, it'll get you even lower. If you're jolly, it'll make you hyper-happy. Music is something you can monitor upto an extent unlike the rains. Listening to upbeat, fast-paced songs with positive, meaningful lyrics will make you feel good- and choosing to listen to them is completely up to you. But if you're not in the mood for something pacy, there's not much you can do... 

I continue to reminisce. Still at my window, legs resting on the cool grill. Thinking of some people, remembering some moments and generally letting my mind wander. Ah, but my bed beckons...and so I take your leave. Goodnight everyone, sleep tight...and as a friend of mine would say- don't let the cats bite!
