A hot shower may clean your body, but a soak in a bathtub can renew your spirit.
The Romans did it. The Turks did it. The Japanese still do it. I'm talking about bathing. Bathing in deep tubs with hot water. Just close your eyes. Forget about the creep who cut you off on your way home. Forget about the impossible deadlines your boss gave you. Forget, for a little while anyway, your spouse, your kids and your dog. Just forget.
Add some bath salts or bath oil, light a few candles, put on some nice jazz or classical music, and I'm in heaven. The leave-me-alone, get-away-from-it-all, I-am-an-island kind of heaven.
