For two mornings straight, I woke up from the heavy rain sound. I thought the rain would stop by noon, but it continued raining all day long, even through the night.
Our area is normally blessed with strong and bright sunshine on the majority days of the year. I normally don’t need to turn any room lights on during the daytime. But today I needed to do so. Not only in our house but also in the entire area was dark covered with the heavy clouds.

Rain reminded me of my days in Japan.
I started utilizing the public transportations such as buses, trains, and subways since I became a high school student. I could have chosen my high school to the closest one from my house. If I had chosen the one, I could have go to the high school by 10 minutes’ walk. Instead of choosing the easiest option, I chose the difficult option. I chose my high school located at the farthest area from my house. In order to attend the high school, I needed to take three different public transportations including a bus, a train, and a subway, and it took me 1.5 hour in one way.
I chose my university at the far area too. It also took my 3 hours to just go back and forth from the university all the weekday.
I used to hate taking the public transportations, especially on rainy days. It was a very, very discussing experience. The trains on rainy days tended to be late so that the inside of trains tended to be jammed. Everybody’s wet umbrella touched other people’s clothes. The air in the train was dull and smelled badly. Under the uncomfortable environment, people tended to get irritated and treated mean to each other.
Those days I never imagined of my current living environment. I never thought of living in sunny area in America.

I am thankful to today’s rain because it reminded me of my old days. Compared with my younger days, I am in the preferable environment right now. I gave me a reason why I am thankful to my current environment.
Please don’t get me wrong. I am not writing this just to brag about my preferable environment.
What I really want to covey is that your desire will be manifested eventually if you keep having it in your mind.
During my days in Japan, I always hated to living in a jammed environment. I wanted to live in a relaxed environment where people live with a comfortable distance to each other. Now my desire was manifested.
Every thought counts. Every hope counts. If you keep having it in your mind, one of these days, it will be manifested naturally.
