Raining is a very common occurrence in my country. But even till now, I still don't really enjoy the rain. I often feel sad and limited. The surrounding looks so messy too! I can't seem to do many of the activities I plan to do. Its so hard to go out and not be wet all over. The problem also is, it is still so hot! I can't really understand it.
And during rainy seasons, many of my countrymen experience disaster and different destruction either their houses or their livelihood!
Many people got sick during rainy days too. Children and adults alike, even pets get affected.
Its not that I don't appreciate the many big help of the rain... i just wanna air what I feel about it.

Hi, I don't like raining day, I feel awful on raining day, just as you say, it's mess outside,and we will got wet all over, so I always choose staying in house, and it's really boring, if it's weekend, I can't go outside, and can just stay in house, I don't like this, and it's almost raining a week in my city, and my sister got a cold,I think it's because of the rain.

I love when it rains, it always leaves the air so cool and smelling fresh. Rain seem to make flowers and grass smell so much stronger. It's like the world is bathes in a lovely perfume. And of course, nothing can grow without rain. Rain is a necessary part of life. We all need water, so rain is something positive to me.
I guess some people interpret rain as tears from heaven or something sad like that. I don't know why people don't go outside when it rains. I love the rejuvenating feeling.

I can understand what you feel too... Its just that rain can be so regular in my place and oftentimes destructive. You cannot see the color of the flower anymore because the plant has been uprooted... :(

I usually don't, I love rain, especially if it pours lightly. I feel sad when the the sky is gloomy, and that the place where I am is too silent, it makes me feel that everything in the world is going to end, and that I'm too alone.

During my childhood I feel glad when it rains because i love to play under the rain with my friends. But now, i feel depress when the rain poured. I can't explain why i feel that way... maybe with the sad memories that i had.

Yes, raining makes me uncomforable, sad and depress. I really hate rain. When it is raining, I would rather not go anywhere, the best thing to do is to stay in my lovely bed. I will always avoid attending class when it is a raining day. But I agree that rain occationally can help cleaning the sky and purge the air.
Enjoy myLotting=]

hi dear friens, i love rains a lot . i think it is very romantic season and if it dont cause any disaster, it is a beautiful season to be enjoyed. and if you see, every season has its plus and minus. i mean its negatives nd positives. nothing is just posotive or just negative. if it is too hot then also you cant go out. you can be suffer from a severe sun stroke and can fall ill also. if it is severe cold then you can fall sick due to cold weather and infecton and not wearing proper warm clothes and your thermals. so is the same with rains. it is not that rains just bring disaster. if it wont rain, our earth will become dry and we have to face droughts nd all that and crops as are affected badly becasue of heavy rains are also badly affected becasue of no rains and no water. due to bad govrnment planning and all and no potholes covered people can suffer and destruction can happen but that can also happen in a nice sunny weather. if a pothole is not maintained and sewer are not taken care of, they areleaking . in hot weather, infaction also spreads fast. i love to get wet in rain and i never stop going out in rain. infact if there is no work then also i go out, just for a stroll in the weather and have fun. i love to go on a bike with my hubby holding him tight and its drizzling and our faces are wet. and then i love to see droplets on my and my hubby's face. i love to lick them and then stand under a shed or something and enjoy watching rain. i alos love to si in my gat=den in a shed and feel the showers. i love to play with my dog in rain more , lol and he dont like to hahaha. i drag him out and then when he is out then he comes in full mood in jumping and running and bringing balland all that. it is fun and romantic. i will never say thatrainsare bad. they are very romantic and and when its first rain, the beautiful smell of earth, its like WOWWW!!!!!. I JUST LOVE THAT A LOT, A LOT. all in all. i love rains and will keep loving ,loving, and loving it :-)

[i]hello beaushell,
No, I never feel sad when it rains. It's just that it's hard to go out when it's raining. Just fine if I don't have work when it rains for it's nice to sleep. I think that's the good thing about it, just staying at home. Hard rain and storm are really bad and it really cause a lot of disaster, but it is part of life. We have at least 10 storms that hit us yearly and it's best to observed safety to be on the safe side and pray that it won't be so bad. Life goes on.
Regards.[/i]

Nope, I don't feel sad when it rains but I'm not also that happy. I love when it rains if I'm home because I can relax myself and the whether is cold. I don't need to open the electric fan since its already cold. But when I'm at the office and when it rains I sometimes hate it because it only means that it is traffic, no jeepneys, the ground is wet and most of all not comfortable.
When I was a kid, I really love rain especially if it rain very hard. My parents will decided not to let us go to the school and we can just stay at home and play in the rain together with our dogs. It was so happy to be a child.

I love rain, especally when I don't have to go anywhere, I open my curtains and love to watch it.
I also like to sit outside if I can, if the winds not blowing it on me and enjoy the feeling of the wind
in my face, the mist hitting me, and the smell, Ive been this way for as long as I can remember, when
I was a young girl I'd sit in the swing right before a shower or storm, until my mom would make me come
in.. Liz

Hi Beaushell. Certain factors make one either sad or happy and association of one of the event imprints the images for long. Rainy season, indeed fascinate those who love nature. It gives feelings of freshness. But the inner emotions contribute alot. I personally feel good while it rains but sometimes continuous rain make the other everyday activities slow. Thanks.

Hi! I don't feel sad when it rains, I feel sleepy because of the cool air. I don't like a drizzle because it makes the land here just hotter and more humid. What I like is a nice big splash, strong quick rain that cools everything. However, I don't like days of rain because it's flooding many parts of the town, sometimes causing harm to people and property. In our country, you just have to adjust and learn how to live out the rainy season.

Happy mylotting..
Some thought rainy day does not make funny day..(you thought so too)
But for me, raining is blessings from the God.
Everything God wants, rainy or sunny,i believe that is the best way to us.
But I feel sad if the rain accompanied by the disaster.
I think we have to take care more carefully against nature.
So nature will balance and disaster does not occurwhen rain.

I feel sad only when I am caught in the rain, put my clothes on the terrace for drying, and mostly when my loved ones are caught in the rain.
I generally don't feel sad when it rains, because the climate is cool then and I want to romance with my husband that time ;)
