I took a shower with the light off this morning. It was a rainy, dark morning outside. Oh, it was so nice. My worries all went down the drain with the water. My awareness narrowed to shut out what was going on outside that little shower. The past and the future were beautifully eclipsed by the present. The congestion from my almost-head-cold evaporated into the misty darkness. I kept turning the water just slightly hotter, then just slightly hotter again, until it was almost burning me, but not quite. I enjoyed what is known as the hot-water stupor. This is also enjoyed when getting into a hot tub, just after your body gets over the shock, you go into the hot-water stupor of bliss. After a few minutes of this, I felt satisfied, and ready to turn off the water. My awareness gradually expanded and I re-acknowledged that I had left Isaac in his high chair with banana goop on his hands, face, and hair. And Josh had wet the bed last night and needed to be bathed. And the breakfast dishes were in the sink and I needed to make my bed.
But oh, what a difference that shower made.

No wonder it is not such a good day over here. I have not taken a shower yet.
So glad you got it!
I absolutely agree. A good shower can hit the spot sometimes.
sparkly unicorns, to glow-in-the-dark dolphins, these new fashion rubber bands
silly bandz have everyone talking. With the thousands of different varieties to choose from,
children and young adults have found it easy to grab onto this new fad. Plus, the price is right --the average price for a theme pack of 24 is around $4. Most of us
think, “Oh! What a steal; that’s such a great price.” When the reality of it is, the cost of 24 regular rubber bands is less than $1. Why pay more for shaped rubber
bands, when you can have regular ones for cheaper?
