Grateful

On this national day of thanks, I am truly grateful for the love of my sons, the friendship of their mother, the love of my oldest nieces who honor me with their words, my special friend and her family who has accepted me as one of their own, the love and mercy GOD has shown which has made the aforementioned possible. As this day progresses please pause to remember that the choice to make a difference for the good in someone else's life is ours and ours alone.

Think Before You Drink

We who live in the United States often take clean water for granted. Our government on all levels from federal, state, region and county for the most part have resources in places to ensure that we have clean water to cook with, bathe in and drink whether it is from the tap or bottled and processed at some plant. Sadly though we also are some of the most wasteful users of water who often  take clean water for granted when according to WHY WATER, http://www.charitywater.org/whywater/, “almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water. That’s one in eight of us.” Almost one sixth of our planets population, are you one of them, probably not if you’re reading this blog.
Think before you take your next drink of water.
Let the palate of your pen and the fingers of your hand become a source of change in the water policies before you become one of eight people without clean water to cook with, bathe with and drink.
