We all have our priced possessions. I had this bottle that I carry everywhere I go. At first, I just purchased it because I needed a container to fill with water and if in case I’m thirsty, that bottle will be accessible and more convenient for me. It’s just an ordinary stuff that you can see in the stores, nothing special, however, it’s useful and nice to look at. That bottle has given me much comfort, when I’m eating my food, or simply got thirsty, my water-filled bottle is all-ready to drink. I put it in my refrigerator to keep it cool and from time to time I filled it up with clean water and store it again. I even carry this water bottle even at work. I drink water from it as long as I want. It had gotten me through some tough times because there are some people who criticized my bottle as to why I love to carry it around so much. I just simply smile and say, “I feel comfortable having my bottle by my side and I think there’s nothing wrong to keep it while it’s useful”. Some people are confused about it. On my part, I couldn’t care less since I like carrying it everywhere I go and drink water from it. I would like to believe that my water-filled bottle gives me life and replenishes my thirst. Until one day, around january of 2008, I checked on my usual place where I put it… and it was gone. I searched every corner of my house — my two rooms, kitchen, refrigerator, bathroom, dining area… but still, it’s nowhere to be found. I got saddened and cried the whole day. Even though I knew that my bottle was not in my refrigerator, I still checked it every hour to see if it turns up…unfortunately, it didn’t. There was one time that I went out of the house and look for a replacement of my lost bottle. I checked on the grocery, department and even the hardware stores. I can’t find something that would resemble it, most of the water bottles I saw was either too delicate or not too handy. So, I just went home empty-handed. A friend gave me a new water bottle as a gift but it cant't replace my favorite one. I wondered where my faveorite water bottle was. Surely, whoever took my precious container has no idea how sad it makes me. From time to time, I dreamt of my favorite bottle but everytime I reached for it, it suddenly perishes. Everytime I remember my precious container, I get too emotional and lonely. My meals are incomplete without it. I know it’s going to be impossible that my bottle will be returned to me, however, I’m still clinging on to the hope of finding it soon. Nothing can replace it. That’s how I love that container. Regrets came across my mind. If only I took care of it, I woudn't lose it. One day I woke up, opened the fridge and mto my surprise, I saw my favorite water bottle there. It's full of cold water, and to my thirst I grab it and drink water. At last my water bottle is back, I uttered "thanks". I held on it like I don't want to lose it again. I will love it and care it for it more than I did before. "There is only one journey. It's the journey going inside yourself." |

That water bottle sounds like a real RASCAL! Taking off like that without even telling you. At least it had the decency to return filled up! HuzatKrazyLONG  -edMayne???

I like the story of the bottle..it simply reminds us that we should try to appreciate even the simplest thing that happens in our life.Life is too short for us to waste it.We are lucky that GOD gave us this wonderful oppurtunity to see how beautiful the world was.If we only open our eyes and look around us.The trees that are dancing with the tune of the wind, the birds that fly high in the sky.The sunshine that comes every morning that gives radiance to the sea like a shimmering gold.The smiling faces of our friends like a clown.Those are just simple things but for me its a great gift for us.Maybe we just ignore them its because we dont give importance to them.But if one day you will lose your sight..Then thats the time you will miss those simple stuff.You cant see and feel the value of a certain thing if its still with you..!So take care of the things you have right now because it might be taken away by the time you need it most!!!
