Be the one!

This water thing is a wonder. Squeeze anything hard enough and you will get some water out of it. It sure must be important to be this omni-present. It's all so simple yet so complex at the same time. Its as simple as, you don't drink water, more often than not, your lips will be dry like that wrinkled, overstayed passion fruit shell, your eyes will be sunken like life is being pulled out of you, your skin will be pale like you just auditioned for Michael Jackson's thriller video, your head will be pounding as if the grinding pestle to the groundnuts in that mortar and your mood just might be all so fussy, moving up and down the entire city.  When all is said and done, it just comes down to simply:- drink water, period!

Where it gets complex though, is when you actually have to let that first sip of water past your lips onto those well expecting tastebuds, only to find, no taste! Not even a little sour or a little sweet or at least a mix of both. And to make affairs worse, after that first sip, you have to do more than that for it to do you any good, you have to gallop and gallop. After those gallops, you gotta repeat process through the day until you can write off one litre and the next one too, from your to-do list. 

I heard a very influential human once say, "you are only as good as your environment," so if I am going to keep up well with this life gig on water , I am going to need the people around me to be water drinkers too, so we can all be water enablers for each other. Under this roof, it's a water marathon on a daily and if you want the best couch for that happy hour of family TV, you better be the one drinking the most water today.
