Day to Day happenings in my life

A Good Long Soak

Use these words in your entry: bathtub, fill, customer, dictate, axis, essay, and dribble.

It’s a wintery sort of day and just seeing the word bathtub makes me want a lovely long soak. I’d fill it to the brim with hot water and bubbles.
There’d be no one to dictate or remind me that the price of electricity has just increased and I need to ration the amount of hot water.
If it was summer a bathtub is the place to eat a peach and let the juice dribble down my chin into the water. I miss peaches.

The constant barrage of bad news these days seems to be endless. Wars and famine and killings assault my senses each time I pick up a newspaper or turn the television on. Sometimes it feels as if the world is tilting on its axis as millions of people leave their homes and countries seeking refuge in a safer country. Yet where is there that will take them and give asylum? There are numerous essays written about over population and I agree there are too many people for this planet of ours.
There is so little an individual can do to bring about change. We can only look locally to help where we can by trying to be nice and caring to the ones close to us, to support our local communities. When standing in a queue with other customers, smile at the checkout person, assist an older person who might be struggling, make your own life as good as it can be.

Phew, I really need that soak.
