In Praise of Water

A few months ago I had to stop drinking caffeine. I didn’t drink a lot of it to begin with, but I stopped drinking any at all.

Well, while diet sprite is my soft drink of choice, it’s not readily available at most restaurants. So, I started drinking water. Lots of water. Water with most meals.

You know how they’re always telling you that you should drink water and you go, “yeah, uh huh…” Well, I started drinking lots of water from necessity. Then I started to *want* water.

I’ve been drinking lots of water since last fall. In the last month or so I’ve had this following conversation 4 or 5 times…

“Patsy, your skin is looking really good… what are you doing?”

“Nothing… just drinking a lot of water.”

It’s really embarrassing to admit that I’ve finally started doing what is obvious and it has had the effect all those experts told you it would. Come to think of it, I believe everyone’s mother and grandmother told them this.

Why do we humans ignore the obvious?
