Solace In A Shower

As a mom, it is difficult to get a moment to yourself. And as a mom who runs a business, it is especially difficult because even during times that my son is sleeping or playing quietly, I am always working on my business – so getting a moment to myself is nearly impossible these days.

This is how I have found solace in taking a shower. I thought I would share it with you. I have child-proof handles on my doors, so when I go up to take my shower, I know that my son is safe – wherever he is playing. I turn on the hot water and let my mind go blank and enjoy the warm water spraying on my body – washing away all of my stress and taking me to a world that has one moment just for me. The sound of the water is very peaceful and comforting and the warmth travels throughout my entire being. I find there are days when I stay in the comfort of the shower for a long time. And I have to force myself back to reality and the day-to-day activities of my home and my business. Often this reality check comes in the form of a 4-year old who has gotten tired of playing by himself!

We each find a way to find solace in our day – please leave a comment and share your ways for relaxing and taking time for yourself.
