Day 5

Baths

I’ve written about my love of baths before, but I really can’t say why I love them so much. I’m not an avid fan of water, and avoid swimming and most water themed activities (yes, those too) as much as I can. And yet, baths are one of the rare frivolous indulgences I allow myself (we are very conscientious about our impact of the environment and our budget). They make me feel like I’m doing something luxurious, but what is it, really?

I’m not saying I’m not a shower person. Showers are generally a faster, more efficient option when the use of water is for hygiene. They also are a wonderful way to spend some time naked with your partner. But for relaxing, relieving tension, and soothing tired muscles and bones, nothing beats a bath. Add some epson salts, or bubbles and a book, and it’s like a tiny vacation.

This bath was not for the purpose of hygiene or relaxation, but I certainly felt less tense afterwards. Perhaps it had nothing to do with the bath at all and more to do with the activities after the removal of wet clothes? A story for another time…

See you tomorrow!
