Subject: Bubble Baths...Get in and let go!
Content: Theres something magical about a bath. It can become a refuge from the outside world in a way that a shower simply can't. Add bubbles to the mix and I'm instantly transported into another world. There needs to be mountains of bubbles for it to be a real bubble bath, whether those bubbles are created from regular dishwashing soap or some fancy floral-scented concoction from a specialty shop. With the bathroom door closed, the shower curtain drawn to keep out the drafts, and a candle lit somewhere nearby, Im in my own secluded little world. I run the water as hot as I can stand it --nearly blanching myself in the process. I sink in and spend the first few minutes heating up, releasing tention, and cherishing the bubbly bliss. Then I lay back and ponder words like "relaxation," "peace," "tranquillity," "alone," and even "ahh." I inhale them along with the tubs steam, then exhale any negative feelings. As the heat evaporates into the steamy bathroom air, taking along my muscle aches, I send my heartaches with it. I swish my hands under the water, creating gentle currents of soothing calm. With my eyes closed, I tune in to the sounds of the suds snapping. Im going to miss that sound. I take a deep breath and submerge, drowning out any other cares I may have. As the flame of the candle flickers outside the tub, I know it is my spirit reviving and dancing, eagarly awaiting my body to resurface and join life again...
