Restlessness
Satisfaction Saturday
I woke up this morning ridiculously thirsty. That was most likely due to the fact that I had a few glasses of wine with great friends last night. Anyway, as I poured water into my dog's bowl I thought about how amazing it was that water ran right out of the tap - that with a twist of the wrist pure, beautiful water poured into our homes. We are so unbelievably fortunate. We never have to go thirsty.How many people in this world don't have water to drink and if they do it's full of bacteria? They have to go without or only drink a little to survive where as we can simply gorge ourselves on the cool, sweet water that pours into our homes like liquid life.
I didn't choose water for my first beverage today. I chose a glass full of orange juice. Not that tiny little juice glass they give you at restaurants - a big giant pint glass. And again I found myself contemplating how amazing it was that I could have such a large amount of that juice. I drank it down gratefully and quickly, quenching my thirst like a woman who's been sitting in the blazing sun of the desert.
How many people have never tasted orange juice? How many people have never eaten an orange or an apple? I could go to the grocery store right now and buy the juice of pomegranates. How many people can't do that? Actually I could suck down all that OJ right now and go buy more to replace it. How many people have to cherish every precious sip of juice or water? How many people are afraid of it running out? How many are terrified of going thirsty?
I sit here now with my pint glass full of water and consciously realize how grateful I am to have it. When I am overwhelmed with thirst first thing in the morning I don't have to go without. I don't have to thirst. I can walk to the sink and pour myself a cool glass of water.
Did you ever notice that water out of the bathroom sink tastes better? Maybe it's just me.

No, it's not just you. It also seems like the temperature of the water out of the bathroom sink is cooler than anywhere else in the house.
This was a very good post hon. So many of your sisters and brothers do not have that.
I don't have running water here, but I'm okay with that as I do have good water here when so many others do not.
And I have some organic berries in the freezer and soon I will make a milkshake with them.
I wish everyone on this planet could do that. But the capitalists took everything over so that they could have their yachts and airplanes and mansions and other fancy things.
Hang on hon, it's going to get very interesting. But it won't be anything new, just history repeating itself because they just never fucking learn. Hugs.
I woke up this morning having to take a leak. LOL
Jared, yeah it's cold enough to drink without ice. I love bathroom sink water. LOL.
BBC, thanks for your comments hun. I really appreciate it. I wake up most mornings having to pee too. :)
