It seems that water is in the news every day lately. Too much is causing horrific flooding in some parts of the country. Too little is contributing to raging wildfires in other parts. Yet, last week when my family had no electricity or running water for just three days, I realized that living without lights was easy, living without water was not. I was reminded that turning on the tap for a drink ( more importantly for me, to make a pot of coffee) or a jumping in the shower at the end of the day is a luxury that too many in this world do not have.
Today I made a donation to Water.org, a group whose mission is “providing safe drinking water and sanitation to people in developing countries.” And I made a commitment to my self not to take that morning cup of coffee for granted.
