I am grateful for water. It goes without saying that clean, fresh drinking water is not something to which all have access. And that is wrong. I watch and wonder as the lakes in my own "educated, left leaning environmentally conscious" town get taken over by blue green algae. These same lakes that we used to swim freely in are often closed down in the summer, or questionable at best.
Water is awesome and powerful yet flows right through your fingers. It transforms your body, can rid you of toxins and clear bad skin. When I was growing up I didn't drink much if any water...maybe if it was the only option available. We all went for the soda or sugar drinks and didn't appreciate the true value in natural beverages without a huge list of additives. We now look at things differently and water is my kids' drink of choice. I drink at least two 32 oz servings in my new water bottle (a much wanted Christmas gift). And before having this little green metal bottle, I drank glasses and glasses daily. I really started drinking lots of water when I was pregnant with Natalie and stopped drinking soda.
We should really make the current global issues with availability of clean water a priority over fighting endless, needless wars, catering monetarily to those who simply don't care and other wastes of money and resources.
