Even if I shower at night after working or playing hard, I still need to shower in the morning or I just don't feel completely awake. Well, that and my hair is fairly curly wavy and somewhat oily so it would never feel right and I would be forced to wear a hat which I think is prohibited by the dress code where I work. But I've moved away from my point.
Which is that there are few things that we take for granted as much as the ability to have a hot shower when we feel we need one.
Not only that, but we can get all picky about the power and spread of the shower head. Come on, when you visit your relatives and they have this old weak shower head that, at most, gets your shoulder kind of wet, like walking through one of those cool mist machines, you feel discomfort if not frustration, right? Or if the water is subject to temperature change based on other water-based behavior in the house, you can never really relax while you're shampooing your hair, can you?
So, when you have that perfect shower, and by that I mean, perfect for you, think about how wonderful it is and happy it makes us.
Part of happiness is about the little things. And they're only little things until we don't have them anymore.
If you can think of something you take for granted that would ruin your day if it was gone, let me know in the comments or by emailing me.

peanut butter would ruin my day if it were gone. not every day, but pretty close to every day. just a tbs, not a lot, not on bread or celery or even with chocolate or jelly, just plain pb. good stuff, especially with ice cold white 1 percent milk to get it unstuck off the roof of your mouth...mmmmmm.
Excellent call, anonymous.
We dip sections of milk chocolate in peanut butter around here. But I see your point about the value of straight pb. My daughter loves it that way. (It's also a special treat for the family pooch. Couple of tablespoons in the kong and he's in heaven for the rest of the day.)
I feel an ode to peanut butter post coming soon. Thanks.
