The little pleasures

Of the small pleasures in life, I think one of the best ones is being able to get into a warm shower on a chilly day.

(And yes, it's chilly here - chilly and rainy.)

I wonder if people in the developed world, who have always lived with safe clean running water really appreciate what a blessing it is. (I was without hot water for a couple weeks a few years ago when my water heater died, and more recently was without water AT ALL for a week when the line leading up to my house cracked. Living without running water - or without hot water - is possible, but it's certainly not convenient.)
