The Good | Water

The goodness of water far exceeds the scope of these articles, but after what came across as a possible rant on yesterday’s post - which believe it or not I try to avoid - I thought the only way to seek a strong balance is to arrive at a “good” and let’s face it, it doesn’t get any better than water.

If you were in a nitpicky mood you could say oh no, I drink from a septic tank, or my pressure isn’t high enough when I shower, but realistically, water’s the best thing that ever happened to this planet. There is precious little you can count on in life. Change is constant, and we embrace it whether or not we’d like to. Even puppies can flip out and make you want to toss them out a window, so you can’t just count the hits and say “Well I always come home to his smiling face.”

Water is constant. Maybe the one constant you have in your life.
If it’s the one thing that will always be good for our health, the one magical elixir that cures what ails you, isn’t it great that in our country it’s so abundant? And in this country, so affordable? And in this country, tastes great? The Heavens could have made acid or animal matter the drink of choice, but instead we get fresh delicious water.

The egg is called incredible, and while you have to respect its versatility - who figured out half of those uses, anyhow? - I will never wash someone’s hair with an egg. I’ll never remove a stain with an egg. I’ll never stop a fire with an egg. I’ll never dilute something with an egg. I can keep someone living longer on all water than all eggs. It’s the one thing we always assume will be there, and it may be the one thing that always is. Let’s be grateful for that for as long as that remains the case.

When it stops being the case, let’s remember the good times just for good measure. It won’t take long, without water, for the bad times to be over anyhow and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time!
