Revel in the Rain

On cold, blustery days like today - it's a great moment in time to cherish the small things - a cup of warm tea, your favorite book, some favorite songs that bring you back to that moment in time. 

There are so many missed opportunities where I am trying to avoid the rain, trying to get out of the cold, shaking off the wet snow... but every once in a while, I remember to stop and enjoy.  I'll stick out my tongue to catch a drop of rain or closely search the lapel of my pea coat for a snow flake with intricate lacy designs I can just make out.

Here is an illustration I recently worked on that captures the simple pleasure of it all.  If only I can remember to stop and take that pleasure more often (sigh).
