sometimes it's difficult to notice

I went to the top of the North parking deck this morning because I needed to scout for a landscape drawing, and also because I was obscenely early to class. However, I ended up just staring. The sun was covered by blue clouds and cast pink rays. The clouds behind me were dark and soft. It started to rain, gently. A person carried a red and white striped umbrella. A girl in her car let two other cars on the road - she didn't have to, but she did. I watched rain drops fall to the ground far below me, and they swayed and skipped their ways down. I turned around to make sure no one could see me, and then I grinned. Sometimes, it's just good to be alive.
Thank you, Lord, for this day. It's amazing.
