With rain comes so many opportunities for mindfulness. The excuse to linger in bed, move a little slower in the morning, sinking into how your body feels after a night of sleep or lack of sleep. New sounds to focus on, rain on the windows, shoes across wet pavement, tires displacing pools of water. The need to drive a little slower, stay more focused, take a bit more care.

After a few days of rain the novelty will wear off, unless of course, we choose to remain present in the moment with the rest of nature.
