Deep Thoughts...from the Tub

Awkward title...I know.  But, honestly, I always seem to do my best thinking while in the bathtub.  Taking a "bath" is rare for me...I'm a shower girl.  But, every once in awhile I'll either get in the mood for a bath...or have such an awful day I need to relax in a bath.  Today was a mixture of the two.  A "I feel like taking a bath today...because I need to prepare for the stressful week I know is ahead of me" kind of day.  My job is STRESS.FULL. (with 2 L's!)  I don't want to get into any specifics...but, basically...it's a REALLY tough job, and an even tougher FIRST job.  I mean, what I do primarily is NOT what I was told I'd be doing when I took the job in the first place...so, it's disappointing on top of it all.  Anyways, all that to say, I had a "revelation" in the tub today.  I sat down, breathed in my Bath & Body Works Eucalyptus Spearmint aromatherapy bath salts (aaaahhhh....), and thought: "If you want to change the situation, YOU have to initiate the change!"  So, I did.  I'm gonna be vague on all the specifics, and I'm sorry about that, but I don't know what's next at the moment.  But it was a thought that I know was from God.  He told me, you initiate the change, and I'll help you the rest of the way.  So, after months of turmoil, I suddenly feel hopeful again.  Hopeful that there's a bright side to it all.  I can begin to see that God is, and has been, looking out for me...something I've had trouble seeing while in "the storm."  And I now have more confidence to seek the change that I want and need......all because I decided to take a bath.
