Lessons from a bubble bath

Been missing my father this Memorial Day weekend. Feeling a little low and short with my family. So I took a bubble bath. With the blissful aroma of candles and very warm jet of water massaging me into a peaceful coma, I relaxed. Reluctantly I turned off the jets only to hear my youngest screaming for me and to hear my lovely husband handling it. So on went the jets again to drown out the upset child. At first I told myself, "bad mommy", but then I thought of something. So many times life engulfs us with loud, confusing, chaotic events. Most of these events are not in our control. During those times we need to turn our prayers on more and rest in a blissful aroma of peace.
