What makes us feel alive.

I used to laugh at cheesy song lyrics like "rain makes me feel alive" etc. but now I get it. It's really the little things that we should appreciate. I recently watched a movie "The book thief". One scene got me thinking. When Max asked Liesel what is it like outside. She thought the question was weird, why would he care about the weather so much? How could a weather report be so important? Because the world around us really is what makes us feel alive. We can feel rain on our skin, we can smell flowers, we can walk on grass... It's amazing how we can experience the world. Something so neuter that we can experience anytime is in fact magical and special. Max was missing the feeling of cold snow in his hand, the rain drops on his face or the sun rays hitting his cheeks. He was missing the simplest and most common things because they make our lifes complete.
