Thank you, God ...

The blessing of showers ... that's what I am thankful for. I thank God, each time I am blessed with a hot shower, my favorite soap, shampoo, conditioner, fluffy towels, warm bathroom, comb, a barrette for my hair.
I thank God for clean clothing -- my favorite t-shirts, jeans, and the sox I love to wear with my favorite shoes.
Each day I haul my old frame into the tub, turn on the water and feel so blessed to have a hot shower I say, "Thank you, God ... thank you."
And, each time, I wonder who is blessing homeless old women with hot showers and shampoo, with soft towels and clean clothes?
I envision portable showers and donated soaps and shampoos and towels and clothing. Surely, some group or other does that for the homeless. I hope so, because there is some measure of peace and healing .. a blessing ... in showers.
If I were homeless, that's what I would appreciate most, I think -- a safe place to go for a hot shower and some clean clothes. They wouldn't have to match or be the right size; just some clean clothes ... and maybe, a barrette for my hair.

I just found this site and am so happy to be here! I have been looking for a community, a tribe. I hesitated to post so early in my getting to know you all, but I felt such a connection with the spirit of your site and my entry, above. Best to you all, Celeste
