Drink Up!

After being told by health care providers  for the upteenth time that I need to drink more water,  I decided to purchase this 64 oz motivational water bottle.  With it's cheery water level marks, the bottle gives me undivided attention throughout the day. My favorite is "Do it for yourself" at 9 A.M. Of course, why would I think to drink 64 oz of water for anyone else? The 7 A.M. GOOD MORNING in caps strikes me as endearing especially during a pandemic. Clearly, this water bottle is my new best friend.

 As drinking water bores me unless the temperature reaches 80 degrees,   I find it helps to add fruit to the bottle. Not only does the fruit provide flavor, color, and verve, but  I can munch on the edibles at the end of the day.  Frozen raspberries turn the water into a beautiful still life and and  add a nice zing.  Frozen blueberries give it the blues which unfortunately feels like too much.  Oranges and tangerines  reliably  transform the water into a supplemental source of vitamin C.

Best of all, I am happy to report this water bottle works. I never imagined ever being able to consume 64 oz of water daily, but now I do. Bill claims the water bottle must be designed for giants. Yes, it can be awkward to shlep around, but it's cap handle  design allows amazingly sturdy and trustworthy portability.  Why does this water bottle work for me? it makes me feel accountable. I don't want to disappoint its encouraging messages.  One thing I know about myself is that if you tell me something is homework, I do it. It must be the teacher in me.
So drink up, folks.  L'chaim!
