Thank you, Carol Hand, for the reminder that water is one of our most precious resources and something to be most grateful for.
What I noticed this morning …
As I took my morning shower,
I had to fiddle with the faucet
to get the right water flow and temperature
gratitude struck me as the warm water
massaged an achy neck
and I wondered
“What percentage of the world population can take a warm shower in their own home?”

Curious, I googled the question and found an interesting list of responses. I think it’s worth sharing the first 9 to illustrate something important – at least it’s how goggle’s search engine assesses my interests. I added links for each entry below in case anyone is interested in some of these topics.

I have read for years that in the U.S. we are frivolous with our water usage – not that we should be unclean, but we may overdo it with the showers.

That’s it! We must always be vigilant with our comfortable and wasteful lives. Although I have known since childhood that I always live frugally, and I have never lost that. 🙏💖

One thing that has stuck with me from my Boy Scout days is conservation. When it cones to water, I try not to waste it. I shower using only a small amount of water flow. Ditto.for washing dishes.

Ditto, Neil. Girl Scout camping trips, especially. That’s why when the kids were growing up we made sure to go camping 🏕 so they could see and remember all the modern conveniences they have.
