Walking in the Rain

i went for a walk today. i've decided i need to step it up a bit, so i walked half way to the next village. it was cloudy, so i stayed cool and enjoyed power walking much more than normal. well, the thunder started rumbling in the distance, so i figured i should hurry home so i retreated toward home. well, i was walking up the back hill when it started to sprinkle. that lead to a downpour. i found my ability to see enhanced when i removed my glasses, so i took them off to finish my walk. by the time i got to my road, i was already drenched. i figured, why not finish the walk. i wound my way through the village. i enjoyed walking in the rain because it kept me cool and it also let me just walk. no one asked where i was going. no kids sat and screamed my name as i passed their yard - from the time i come into sight till i leave sight. no one telling me not to walk around. no one calling me fat - it is intended as a compliment, but my american mind still doesnt like it. i rather enjoyed my walk. i would gladly do it again. although, i did get rather cold upon my return. i was wet, my clothes dripping, my hair a wild dripping mess. i dried off and put on pants and a sweatshirt. i made some hot chocolate and got out my winter blanket. i snuggled up with my mug and a good book in bed to get warm. i havent done this in months!
