Just Add Water
My dear Olivia thoughtfully said, "Mom, isn't it amazing what just adding water will do?" She was sitting at our small black kitchen table watching me intently in our kitchen cooking away. I was , of course, wearing my green and white printed apron hovering over the stove containing steaming Basmati rice, sizzling onions/peppers, stirring diluted refried beans. "You know mom look at the rice it was just this small inedible thing and then you add water and now it is a delicious thing to eat." And guess what? She is right! Just add water and there you go!
I sometimes think that just adding a little something to my life helps too! For instance a new mascara. Or a shirt. Maybe it is making a hard choice to give up a fear that you have known for a long time. Maybe it is finally giving the bird to the crazy neighbor. (Sorry to offend!) Or maybe it is saying farewell to your boss who is not treating you well. Maybe it is making an important decision that you want to make regardless of input of others. Maybe it is deciding life is fun and a wonderful adventure just for a day or so!
Sometimes we deprive ourselves when we really don't have too. So just add a little water and go & do!
