Cold showers [View all]

I love indoor plumbing! I just love it!
It's easily my favorite thing about living in a post-industrial society.

I start every single day with a hot shower and I always remember to think about how great it is that I get to take one.
I also know it's bad for my skin and hair, and I should cool it down.
And I started to think that what I like about my hot shower is just the fact that I am deliberately thankful for it. I can do without the heat.

So today I took a cold shower. And it was nice. I did not like when the cold water hit the area above my heart.
But otherwise-- just as good and clean and awake.
And I was thankful for it.

Full disclosure I did not hang out in the shower as long as I would do if it were steaming hot.

I'll keep it up..

Do you take cold showers?
