Today I did something just for myself. I took a shower. Haha...well, that doesn't sound like a big deal, and it isn't that unusual. Except. Today I pampered myself just a little, and oh, how lovely it was. You see, my bathroom is all tile and unheated, and in November, it is cold. As in, COLD. There isn't a separate shower, just a shower head on the wall, and the water drains into the squatty in the floor. (If you don't know what that is, google it.) I will say that that dedicated water tank on the wall puts out a lot of hot water, for which I am daily thankful. Even if it isn't hooked up to the sink! So it is Sunday morning, and since I didn't need to rush I decided to take a few extra moments and this is what happened: First I found an extra space heater in a closet and plugged it in in the bathroom. After a few minutes it definitely took the chill off. Then I had an inspiration: Okay, it's no spa, but I rarely light candles at all, and this one didn't really give off much scent, but it made me smile. I hope you take a few minutes to do something special for yourself today, too. If you find you have an interest in the work I am doing with older orphans, please join me by making a financial contribution on our Donate page.
