Bathing

I just got done taking a LONG, hot bath. While laying in the tub relaxing, I'm thinking about what has been going on in my life & how I can change things, do things differently, etc. One of the things I came up with two things::

1) Wouldn't it be wonderful if the bathtub drain would take ALL the negative feelings, emotions, things that have been haunting us & flush them right down the drain with the water, NEVER having to think, worry, ponder about them again?

2) Wouldn't it be wonderful if the cleanliness of that fresh hot water would fill our souls with all the POSITIVE things in life & NEVER have to worry about the NEGATIVES again?

Oh, how wonderful it would be..... Just couldn't help but to share this with all the fellow DS'ers. It doesn't hurt to dream & have a good imagination at times!~! :)

Here is to everybody on this site to one day equating their life with a bathtub metaphor instead of dwelling on themselves being a toilet.

Clean bathroom analogies - who woulda thunk it?

Yes it would be wonderful to take that spiritual bath to cleanse or souls of all the impurities. I would glady jump in and just soak

Oh goodie...I just HAVE to share my little poem I wrote back in HS about a bar of soap because it is so fitting here:

I wish I were a bar of soap,
I'd never have to sit and moap, I'd have no troubles, I'd have no pain..just suds and bubbles and down the drain.
I'd live a short life but that wouldn't matter, cuz there are other things in life that could be much sadder. So, now if everything I've told you is true...wouldn't ya like to be a bar of soap too?!!

Well, maybe that was just a name we made up for it when we were in school..... Dunno for sure... Will have to do some research on it & see what "good" names we can call the STBX's LMAO

I actually read recently that there is truth in the old saying, "Wash that man out of your hair." A study showed that bathing and hair-washing does have this psychological effect.

No mention in the study about the Gorp though huh?

Bummer. I know I always feel better after one. Yet..kinda guilty.

Tub bathing is so underrated these days w the hurry up pace of the world. Just recently I too got to tub bathe and wow can that be relaxing, even better than a massage. I forced myself to shut out he world and concetrate on me only, my thoughts, my feelings and my needs. It was so refreshing lol no pun intended!

I like to take a nice long relaxing bath once in a while too. I just wish the tub was longer. I would love to be able to stretchout and lie almost totally submersed, in the warm water in a darkened room. I have often thought it would be interesting to try a sensory deprivation tank.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
