One decision at a time

Water.
Love it for the following: swimming, washing the dishes, washing the car, clothes, getting ready in the morning, nourishing the plant life all around, cooking, washing my hands.
As for drinking it...
Blech.
I'm totally over it.  I am even in a mood about it because I just want to drink diet coke and get on with it.
But, God made the human body mostly out of water so I know in my brain that I need to replenish it regularly.
This is clearly a rebellion issue.  It is an issue of not doing something that I have to do.  Honestly, it's like I'm 14.  "I don't want to drink water, whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Good grief. Get a life, right?
So, I've not been drinking my goal of 64oz of water for the last four days.
Yesterday I was having lunch with a group of friends.  The conversation turned to what we had all committed to for lent and one gal shared that she gave up her snooze button.
"What?", I said.
"Yeah," she said, "I was really getting bad with hitting snooze and I don't want that for my life, so I gave it up."
I was dumbfounded.  That's brilliant.  That is a decision of intentionality.  I know this friend and I am not at all surprised that she is this disciplined.  I am so inspired by her.
Then I come back to my crybaby water issue and I really had a different thought about it.  Water is a necessity.  We have clean water.  I need to drink it.  The end.
And little by little, I grow up.  One decision at a time.
