LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM OF THE FALLIN’ RAIN: One of the nice things about having a window air conditioner is that it lets you hear the music of a rain shower. Some people would say that the nicest thing about a window air conditioner is that it cools off your room during the summer. Well, I’m not a big fan of air conditioning – actually I’d rather open the windows and use a fan, unless it’s horribly hot. But I do like the sound of rainfall pinging on the metal casing of the air conditioner. It’s just one of those little things that makes me feel content. At this point in my life, it’s good to notice and appreciate every little thing that brings contentedness, because there are so many big things that cause discontent. It’s good to savor every little contented moment, while they last. Like the rhythm of the fallin’ rain, on the window air conditioner.

(What other rain songs can I think of? “I Love a Rainy Night”. “Tell It To The Rain”. “How I Wish That It Would Rain”. “Rainy Day People”. “You and Me and Rain On A Roof”. There’s probably a whole lot more.)
