What's in your bathroom?
Bathrooms are sometimes our personal hide aways to rest and to find comfort. That's why we often called them restrooms or comfort rooms with no bath. One of our bathrooms at home (the smallest in the house), I made it personalized (my creating, meditating, writing, reading, confessing, unloading and calling center). 😁 Louie can't just share with mine but I can share his😆 anytime.
#1 rule! Privacy! Just kidding...I have everything because all I have in my bathroom matters to me. It's my luxury space center- loaded with the things that feed my soul and mind: books, newspapers and positive little daily reminders written in squares of tiles like (thankful, laugh often, blessed, grateful, and Jesus's tiny picture). Here's one beautiful message inside my bathroom.😀
The luxury I am talking about is that I can stay in my personalized space as long as I want. There's no waiting time when the line is busy. That's really a blessing to me that I give thanks every day. Honestly, I shared my bathroom with our two mixed chihuahuas. I bathe them in my bathroom too. 😁 We love them. They're family.
Bathrooms don't need to be glittery and fancy, but what's important is that it is clean, and ready to use. In our dialect we call our bathrooms, "banyo" the favorite place of everybody in the household especially in the morning.
Some families of ten children shared only one bathroom like the family of the late superstar Michael Jackson before he became famous. Just imagine that but they all managed to work it out. In poor countries, they don't have any bathrooms at all to use anytime. They go where they can find a place they can hide and find relief. It's good not to take what you have now, not just having a bathroom of your own for granted. Like many years ago, maybe a century passed, women in other countries didn't have their privacy whenever they need to go to bath. It was sad. Not just women, but all of us need to have privacy when speaking of bathrooms. Oh gosh, so much to say on this blog.
In our road trips, we often stop to gas up and for rest room breaks. One time, when we were criss -crossing to California, it was closed to 8 in the evening, driving around in circle to look for a restroom. Some gas stations we went don't have one or if there was one, it was out of order. What's sad, it happened in Southern California, of all places. Maybe we were just in a few wrong gas stations, wrong place and in a wrong time. We let the experience passed.
Here's a secret and maybe a good tip: one time, when the women's restroom was occupied, I went to the one stall men's rest room😳 most especially when I needed to go and can't wait. As long as it has one stall, one occupant ( one at a time) and it is clean, it is fine with me. Please don't go to the men's restroom room with many stalls. Let's use our heads- 🤯
Here's one thing, don't let your bladder hold on for too long. It's not good for your kidneys. 🙄 At home, when you take a bath, give your bathroom a bath too. Don't let anyone clean it for you. Be sure you pick up your mess before you leave the bathroom in every use. That's mindfulness. You'll be happier and everyone in the family.
Cheers!😆
Stay safe! God bless you and your bathrooms!
