Laura Flower’s Playlist
As a single mom, raising a fast-growing boy, Laura cherishes her bubble bath time late in the evenings when Brian is in bed and she can wash away her troubles and worries. Money is always tight, time is a luxury, but she can start the tub while she’s finishing up some chore and then can soak in the tub for thirty minutes before she goes to bed.
It’s not expensive to pick up some specialty soaps or bath salts, a little indulgence that takes nothing away from her son’s needs.
Sinking down into the bubbles, sometimes she lights a candle, and with only the tips of her purple toes poking up from the water, she listens to music.
A Michael Bublé song, or maybe Enya’s greatest hits to put a smile on her face.
Everything – Michael Bublé
Haven’t Met You Yet – Michael Bublé
You Don’t Know Me – Michael Bublé
Only Time – Enya
Lazy Days – Enya
Sometimes she reads a book, something light and simple, but she still has music playing. Most of the time it’s a Christian romance, occasionally a light mystery when she’s feeling lonely. Laura knows she won’t marry again, not after the disastrous marriage with her late abusive husband. But a good love song stands the test of time. She can always dream.
A Thousand Years – Christina Perri
Fallin’ For You – Colbie Caillat
I Knew I Loved You – Savage Garden
Love Story Taylor Swift
Every once in a while, she wants a little more edge. Something to match her the same mood she was in when she painted her toenails a wild color, only she will see.
Sound of Silence – Celtic Thunder
The Lion Sleeps Tonight – The Tokens
Time After Time – Cyndi Lauper
Wild Child – Enya
Her bubble bath time is just for her.
The only rule is no crying. She’s cried enough tears and the tub is her sanctuary. Each night, as she sinks down into the suds, she says a little prayer of gratitude for their home.
Laura fell in love with the house once she saw the spa-like master bathroom. She vows to never forget how God provided her this little luxury. Something simple, just for her.
