Just a quick note today......I was going to make my Blueberry Lemon Biscuits, I had all my ingredients and was ready for the day....but I forgot a notice that came to our house..."on the 24th between the hours of 8AM and 7PM, please refrain from using the WATER. They are doing maintenance/flushing on the water system. Sorry for any inconvience." Now....you don't really realize how much water you use daily, until you cant use it. I DRINK tons of water daily...every hour or so, I'm filling up the Brita container...washing hands from gardening...washing my kids hands...using the potty...how readily we turn to our water, just flip the tap...and there is clean water. That got me thinking about countries that don't have clean water, or those that have to travel miles before reaching "somewhat" clean water! We are privileged...and at times we forget that!! We as a society take many things for granted. Today and it should be everyday....I am cherishing what I have! I don't need BIGGER and BETTER things...Matt has a GOOD, secure job..... and as long as my family is healthy and tummies are full and there is laughter and hugs throughout the day....I will not want for BIGGER, BETTER and MORE.....
All these thoughts ran through my mind as I sat outside, early this morning...drinking my COFFEE!! I got up earlier to shower, makes lunches, water the gardens...doing the things that evolved around water. Then while the 3 kids were still asleep...I snuck out back and savoured my coffee and the scenery.....sun filtering through the trees, and hearing nothing but the wind rustling the new leaves and the birds singing.......with a such a BEAUTIFUL morning, it was then that I started to reflect on my life and those that I do not even know.....all because of the water maintenance.....
