Interesting things to know about the towel

How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut.  No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut).  Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori,  salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces.

Love is in the eye of the beholder

If it does not come back to you, have that faith within you that there will be a bright future ahead of you, allow your self that time to heal and get over whatever situation you have just come away from. Keep hope in your heart for a better future and try not to allow the past to distract you, while you focus on that you will loose the gift of the present which is the here and now. It matters not how we perceive our external selves to be, as that well known saying goes ” Love is in the eye of the beholder”, your personality will be enough to get you where you need to be. Looks can fade, but the beauty of the soul is ever eternal.
