Water Saving Ingenuity
Conserve endless gallons of water in your bathroom by letting the toilet do double duty. Before clean fresh water refills your toilet tank, our Toilet Lid Sink diverts it to an auto on/off chrome gooseneck faucet so you can first use it for hand-washing. The whole thing easily installs without tools and offers an attractive way to save space, water and money. Porcelain-like white plastic replaces your existing tank top and adjusts to fit standard toilets up to 8" deep and 16" to 23" wide. Built-in soap dish. Choose Basic or Deluxe (not shown) with stainless steel aerator spigot. USA. Toilet Lid Sink - 02-0334

The moment before us right now is the only place happiness is available, the only place from which we can learn and grow, the only place from which we can love and reach out to others. So why do we so regularly mentally inhabit the nonexistent realms of the past and the future? Because, Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, living in the present requires practice. “Fortunately,” he assures us, “being here is not a difficult thing to accomplish. It is enough to breathe and let go of thinking or planning. Just come back to yourself, concentrate on your breath, and smile. You are here, body and mind together. You are here, you are completely alive. That is a miracle.” He presents simple practices for accessing now through breathing, walking, listening, and speaking.
