I am such a bath person. PD has been away the last 3 months and I hope he is back by Sunday. But it gets rough without him. He is a very involved dad, and he usually gives me a bit of a break after supper. But it's nonstop without him. So I run on adrenalin, and then I can't sleep. Like now! :) So my baths are what really keep me sane. Not only is it warm and relaxing, but it gives me time to pray and meditate, and just be thankful for my blessings throughout my life.
But there's more! Baths are super amazing. If you are dehydrated (like my kids were for about a month of the last 3 months), and you can't keep liquids down (or in), you can take a bath, and your skin - the largest organ of your body - will soak up water directly into your bloodstream. Isn't that amazing! God is amazing to design us in the way He did.
Also, if you are stressed, or love someone that is, you can add epsom salts added to your bath can do amazing things. Check this out! You can better handle stress with more magnesium that comes from epsom salts, on top of baths being completely warm and relaxing and leaving you not much else to do besides actually catch your breath. And of course, the great spiritual element of just being with God and being thankful and reflective reduces stress too.
So, if you are stressed, if you can't sleep or have poor sleep due to stress..take a bath with epsom salts and take some extra time with God. You will feel so much better!!!
