Water Words

Last night in class we had a teacher give an inspiration talk on being positive and loving yourself and yadi, yatti, yah…
Right before I started to lay my head on the table and draw pretty pictures with my breath condensation, the speaker starting talking about writing notes on our bottles of water before we drink them. What? Has he gone mad? He handed us all a marker, a post-it, and a bottle of water, declaring that if we simply write an inspiration message on our water, we will embody these things, and drinking our water will empower us.
This theory is based on Masaru Emoto’s experiments of watching water freeze and form crystals. He took the same exact water and divided it up into two different containers. The first container he spoke only positive words to and wrote “thank you” on the container. The other one he said nasty words to and wrote “hate” on the container. He watched both freeze and noticed the container with positive words created beautiful crystals, while the water with negative words written on it, form ugly crystals. I found this to be fascinating, weird, and a big, giant bowl of hoo-eey all wrapped up in one.
I decided I was going to try this. It couldn’t hurt. So I grabbed my glass of water and sat it down in front of me for a little heart to heart.
ME: Hey water, I just waned to say thanks for always being there for me and that I love you.
WATER:
ME: No, that’s okay. Don’t say anything. It’s better that I do all the talking because I’m the one with the mouth and the brain, and the stunning good looks.
ME: I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for you. I know that there are millions that don’t have clean fresh water, and all I have to do is open my refrigerator and there you are! Thanks, you’re the best!
After our little heart to heart I grabbed my sharpie and got to work:
Then I had a thought. If I can write positive things on my water, why stop there? So I wrote on my coffee:
And then on Berlyn’s sippy cup (it says, serenity, repose, calm, peace, and harmony–hey, a mom can dream, right??):
…and later that night, on my glass of wine:
the end.
yr awesome!

LMAO – that was hilarious. I was waiting for the “hate” conversation and the freezing.

No way. So funny. I love it. I am also inspired to label my margarita “sanity” and my dog’s bowl “obedience.”
