Taking a bath with the dishes

Once again we have no hot water. It is a comedy of errors for all we can do is make light of the situation and teach our selves to use only a liter of hot water for a “bath” and wash our hair in cold. Do not take anything for granted and simplify are my mottoes for this year. We laugh in the face of hardships but it is okay because we are all in this together.

Warmer weather brings smiles
Tank tops and shorts are on the mind
But don’t get too comfortable
I open myself up with love and respect and expect it in return
How dare you diminish my soul and your own at that
No one can make me feel bad or inferior except myself
I stand before you as a friend
You strip me with your honesty
I value your opinion and we share our fears
But have no fears for I am here
I dedicate my ever-lasting soul to you
I pledge my heart to yours
Bosom sisters we are
Forever
I make these sacrifices for you and essentially for myself too
I am glad I’m here
Cold weather, rough times, I’m glad I’m here
To share these little moments with you
We find delight in the slightest
And in my opinion that is the most important
You are Joan of Arch and I am the Angel she saw
I love you like my own flesh and blood
Talk to me dear, I am yours for the listening
