Friday Confessional: I’m a water cooler
by Jillian @ http://blueshelled.com . October 30, 2009 . 1:42PM
This is a mini-confessional, but it’s a whopper and one I fully expect to hear about for years, so it gets its own post.
When I have to drink a lot water, and we all should, quite frequently, I do something odd: I pretend. I don’t just pretend that I have to drink water or I’ll die (duh!). No…
It’s more complex than that.
I close my eyes…
lift the bottle…
and as I tip it and hear it glug glug glug towards my throat…
I pretend I’m a human water cooler.
I can drink a full-sized bottle of water in about 15 seconds or less in this fashion. For someone who isn’t a water drinker, this has been the best possible use of my imagination.
What? Water is good for you. And so is playing pretend.
Life is like a game. We all have challenges, thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Often, it feels like something out there, life, karma, catty people, or blue shells (for the Kart lovers), seeks to bring us down. Luckily, we always get up. This is where I wear my heart on my sleeve and my foot in my mouth.
