I personally love the rain as much as I love sweaters and hot chocolate -- that's a lot. There are so many great and wonderful things about it that I feel everyone should have in their lives. Here are a few reasons why it is absolutely breath-taking and incredibly awesome.

1.We feel ALIVE and new.

2. It’s refreshing to feel gliding down your arm and soaking your hair.

3. You get to relive an epic movie scene. Just dancing and having a good ol' time.

4. You get in touch with nature and thank her for all of the flowers she’s feeding.

5. You stop time (pretty much!)

6. It feels amazing to go running in the rain. Just you and Mother Nature.

7. It’s easier to be alone when it rains. Just walking (or sitting) and thinking about how wonderful life is.

8. It’s lovely to sleep to. Like your own little lullaby hushing life around you and making moments seem ethereal and everlasting.

9. You usually get a rainbow when it’s over and who doesn’t love a good rainbow?

10. It’s time to sport your new umbrella. Pattern is the new black!

11. If it storms you have a reason to watch Netflix and snuggle (with your pet kitten).

12. It's good for metaphors!

13. I love jumping in puddles. Memories from childhood come alive!

14. Tea tastes better when it rains, it’s scientifically proven (no it’s not).

15. You feel beautiful no matter what, wet hair and everything.

16. And cool photos.
