Think I'll take a shower

Written 06.15.09. I just found this in an old notebook and thought I'd share it with y'all:

Showers

There's the jump-in-quick shower
and the long, luxurious shower.
There's the I'm-really-dirty-get-clean shower
and the grooming shower.

...the end-of-the-day-relax-and-get-ready-for-bed shower and
the wake-me-up shower.

...the before-swimming shower and
the after-the-beach shower.

...the small and sweet before-we-cuddle shower and
the after-loving shower. 

...the out-in-nature camp shower.

...the shower in grandma's tight, small, funny-smelling bathroom.

...the low water pressure drizzle and
the blow me away pressure wash shower.

...the two-person shower.

...the baby's first shower with daddy.

...the sloppy, messy six-year old shower.

...the locker room group shower.

...the truck-stop pay shower.

...the hotel room, wash-quick-cause-this-does-not-look-so-clean shower.

And so many more.

A shower is fun. Its an all-alone place; a place to sing, think, talk to yourself, talk to God; a private sanctuary  to de-stress....away from the kids, the boss, the class, traffic and all who demand your attention.  Although in some showers others may be invited in, a lover, a child, or some type of public shower, overall showers are private.

Showers are a marvelous invention!
I think I'll go take one.
