Recently, a
friend asked on Facebook about life’s little pleasures, and what we loved. We
all at once said, “Coffee!” naturally, but then I started thinking about a few
others, and came up with showers.
No, not
bridal showers. Those are hideous. C’mon.
…Although
if you want to read about train-wreck Bridezilla wedding events – where
somebody, somehow, manages to pull a happy ending rabbit out of the hat, even
if this happiness does not include the original bridal couple - you cannot
go past the new Great Wedding Giveaway mini-series from http://montanabornbooks.com/
With
authors such as Trish Morey, Kelly Hunter, Sarah Mayberry and Megan Crane
involved, there are some amazing books to devour.
Wait, where
was I? Oh, yes, showers.
Real
showers.
Hot showers.
I don’t
think we appreciate them enough. Of a morning, it’s that damned coffee that
gets all the attention.
But,
really, is there anything like a good hot shower?
If you’re a
parent, think about when your kids were little (maybe they still are) and how
sometimes those minutes you spend in the shower are the only ones you truly
have to yourself all day.
If you’re
the outdoor type, think about coming back from a day on the boat or the ski
slopes or with the horses. You’re filthy and smelly and tired. You strip off,
step under those steaming needles and the dirt and fatigue just wash away. You
put your water-buffed body into clean, comfortable clothes and then fall asleep
on the couch watching re-runs of old crime shows and… ahhh!
If you’re a
lover, you get to share your shower. Let’s hope it’s big enough. You lather
your hands up with soap and run them all over your beloved’s body, and water
streams down your faces and drips into your mouth as you kiss.
Hm, I think
Casey and Kira, the hero and heroine I’m writing about, right now, in After
the Rain could do with a shower scene of their own…

Oh yes! I love to crawl out of bed and into a hot shower in the morning! It wakes me up immediately. In the meantime, my hubby is making coffee so I can grab a cup as soon as I hit the kitchen. It's things like this that make life wonderful. Of course, the icing on the cake is then sitting down with my coffee to read a good book like you've mentioned here. Life is Good!!
There's this problem with low flow shower heads... you need to be 2nd in the shower to get the HOT water...
