So I was cleaning my frog’s tank the other day and I found out a few things about Cyl the frog.  You see, Cyl (yes that’s the frog’s name) seemed liked he was dying before I cleaned his water.  He was acting very lethargic, never ate, and honestly I thought he was about ready to go belly up.  Then I cleaned the tank.

The tank (really just a very small cylinder, hence the name) was completely covered with algae.  The walls were almost totally blocked with algae which had taken over pretty much everything in his humble abode.

But after I scrubbed the tank and put fresh water in, it was like he was a new ma…frog.  The water didn’t have floaties any longer, the walls weren’t green and the fake plant is the right color green.  In a word, Cyl came ALIVE again.

Okay, so I’m not one to get some moral or spiritual inspiration out of every little thing in life.  But this seemed different.  Cyl’s water was full of alage, uneaten food, and his uh, excrement.  I’m just wondering, what’s in our lives that that makes us lethargic and lifeless?

Every once in a while, we really need to take stock in what is happening around us and clean the water.  If we wait too long, it sucks the life out of us.

How clean is your water?
