i don't really know where to post this, i feel like i actually wanted people to read it so i actually put it here instead of on my myspace or livejournal.
ok so i have been contemplating this for the past couple of days as the weather has changed and along with the weather so have my moods. i don't really expect a response i just want people to read it.
so i was sitting in my dorm room the other night reading one of my text books and i heard it start to pour. the sound calmed me so much and i fell asleep for a few minutes to the sound of rain. it was nice. since i live parts on my life based on a strict schedule, basically my night life, i didn't sleep for that long. so when i woke up it was still raining and i got changed into my running clothes to take my nightly run. for some reason i didn't want to go out into the rain but i wanted to run so i stepped outside into the beautiful cascading rain. i was in a hoodie because i thought the rain would be cold but since it wasn't i imediately took it off. feeling the sensation of the rain and the smell in the air was intoxicating. i looked around watching the rain reflect the street lights and listening to all the sounds. i was amazed at its complexity. i began to think that with such complexity and beauty like this why would anyone worry about anything else.
so during my run i contemplated all this and just felt utterly inspired. after two miles i began to tire and i walked back to my dorm room. the weather hadn't changed, it was raining just as hard, but it was simpler, i was in a different state of mind but it was still beautiful. i saw some people playing football in the rain and it just made me smile. i thought to myself, "with times like these, who needs anything else."
today, two days later, it is a beautiful sunny day with just a slight breeze. it is very comfortable outside and you can see everyone outside enjoying themselves. this is the same kind of beauty and complexity i experienced but two days later it looks completely different. the change. how have we be lucky enough to have this. mind you i do not look at it as something other than the right place at the right time.
i guess what i am trying to say is that i am marveled by the beauty of any situation. how is that everything happens to be in the right place at the right time? is there someone somewhere else thinking this exact thing? i know people contemplate all this but i just really want to say it out loud instead of reading it somewhere else and wishing i wrote it down.
i bid you all adieu.

You're able to find the positive in anything, which a talent you should hold dear. I try to do the same thing, too, and I find it makes life 1000 times more enjoyable. To me, every day is a great day.

I love watching/hearing the rain fall and being able to run or, in my case since I'm a soccer player, play soccer in it. I can completely understand where you're coming from when you write this. It's like 70 degrees out today and I sit and see all these people outside playnig football and enjoying the sunshine and the heat and it is a beautiful thing.

wow i had one of those moments too and it was also raining. I love rain. I took about a 2 hour long walk in the rain and everything felt better, that was right after 10 ppl very close to me had passed on within 1 month so i was feeling pretty shitty...but that night i changed and everything started to feel right again. Today is the birthday of one of the ppl I lost and thinking about that night is what helped me get out of bed this morning.

Yeah, everybody has those kind of 'moments.' A nice breeze, a warm day, and a sunset do it for me.

You must be a wonderful person to talk to.
I know what you mean, the moments when you look around you and are just in love with everything surrounding you and it's beauty and how it seems like perfection without really being perfect at all. I have those moments all the time. It's refreshing to think of things like that now and then and just let yourself get absorbed in it.
So.. to answer your question, you're not alone. And don't ever let go of that side of yourself that lets you think that way. Don't forget to appreciate those things.
