it's possible that a light bulb in bambi's bathroom, nearly caused a massive meltdown this evening.

that l.e.d ceiling light is supposed to shine bright, while i shower. it isn't shining bright or really shining at all. so, i attempt to take it out of the aluminum airstream ceiling. which is impossible. i resort to tapping it. then smacking it. i flip the switch up & down & back up.

there is no light.

...

3...2...1...don't have a melt down, don't. this isn't a big deal. a dark shower won't kill you.

yes. it. will.

think, just think. i reach under my sink, where i store my electric lantern. i don't know where normal people store lanterns, but it fits perfectly in that little corner. i've actually never used it. i wear my head lamp when i need light. it makes me feel like i look like i know what i'm doing. but, i really don't. not a clue. on most days, i have no idea how i survive in glamping land.

ohhh, sweet girl...be gentler on you. you're surviving glamping land, in an authentically beautiful way. it's not about the light bulb. it's the lesson behind the light bulb. when your light is out...it is okay. i repeat, it is okay. lights go out, so go grab that lantern. let it be the light for you.

the light will always find you...even when you can't find it. i promise. just breathe, because nothing & no one, has the power to make you melt down. so, do not melt.

enjoy that hot shower, with that warm lantern light & then rest those eyes, darling.
