...guess m'still probably a bit too 'old school' fer some'a you young'uns who've probably grown up just takin' showers most'a (if not all) yer lives...

... but I gotta recommend... that is if yer bathtub/shower is made fer sittin' in it as a tub... that ya gotta at least once in awhile set yerselves down ta takin' a nice, loooong r'laxin' soak in the tub... It truely is therapudic at loosenin' up tense joints, tendons an such... and a great stress release...

...it's like they say... we get so busy we tend ta forget ta stop an just enjoy some'a the more simple things in life. Fixin' yerself a nice, long, hot bath ta soak in while yer enjoyin' yer favorite tunes ta relax by... havin' a cocktail ya can sip or whatever libation ya indulge in ta help ya relax... suddenly I feel more alive an vigorous again! It'd been at least a couple years since last I'd just took such a relaxin' bath... an it was surprisin' ta me how much bottled up stress an worry I realized I had that I finally took the relaxin' time durin' the bath... and let them go with my hopes an prayers that they will get better/resolve themselves... I'd then reach down, cup my hands and run them into my face slowly and enjoy and envision the negativity rushin' away from my face and down my body... containin' them in the waters that surrounded me, knowing they were trapped there by my will until I felt myself totally cleansed of them as I rise from the water to towel off as I release their negativity from me with a final gesture of releasin' them down the drain with stout resolution.

Things will be bad... of that there's no doubt... but it's also true that things'll get better... that's why we're here fer each other. I revitalize myself fer the knowingly oncomin' onslaught of things that'll assault me... either through my family/friends or me directly... and I am now ready ta face them with the strength my loved ones need of me ta help them (and me) endure whatever is thrown at us!

We've given SUCH a wonderful view of how humanity can show ourselves how we can be better people an yet so many of us still get so frustrated that we wanna give up... So take the time fer a nice, long relaxin' bath when ya feel stressed... Trust me when ya get up you'll be gettin' up with renewed purpose.

Blessed Be! *hugs m'furry family* :)
