one very special day(weekend).

After goofing around, we finally sit down on the squeaky sand.  She wraps her arm around my back to support me and I place my cheek in the crook between her neck and her shoulder, just touching her collarbone. (my spot) She asks,

"Why do you like being by the water so much?"

I giggle for a while, because really, who doesn't like being by the water?  Then I realize it's actually a question.  She means it.  I think for a second.

"You know, I think it's because it's so incredibly chaotic.  The constant sound of the waves crashing, and the little white tips on the tops of the waves that just tell you that this water is MOVING.  It's chaotic and I can't control it.  So I let it take my chaos away from me.  Each wave takes my internal chaos and I can be at peace."

Just some food for thought...

Yesterday I bought a Camelbak refillable water bottle.

I was thinking, how much money do Americans waste on bottled water?  Did you know that there is nothing special about bottled water?  It is literally the same as water from the tap.  

Not only would using a refillable water bottle save companies from using plastic, a material harmful to our environment that lazy people choose not to recycle anyways, but Americans could save millions of dollars that could be used somewhere where it is actually needed. 

I mean, how selfish can we be?  We have water, running water, available right at our fingertips anytime we need it.  And instead, we choose to buy that same water that we could have had for free, in a small bottle that is harmful to our environment.  

Maybe those millions of dollars could go somewhere that doesn't have running water.  I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
