like a cool spring


For the first time in our lives
we have water - cold clean refreshing water
at our fingertips.
You shoulda seen us dancing around. 
or - maybe not....


It makes me think 
of all the people without even remotely decent water to drink.

I wish I could remember to be more grateful for everything I have!

  1. Yes, it makes me think of a village in Morocco where the girls take their donkeys down to the river below each day to scoop water from the river into two large barrels strapped to the poor animal. No electricity meant no pumps. But the dam upstream (ironically to produce electricity!)meant a life of fear and forced labor of traversing up and down the mountain.

    Yes! We have a LOT to be thankful for!!
    I would have loved to see you dance!
