Remembering to Say 💧 Thanks 💦

Hello, Precious One!

In today’s PICTURES post I offer visual refreshment for those who live on land that is parched this time of year. And a prompt for those of us who need reminders to be grateful.

I’ve had access to clean water at the convenient turn of a tap for my whole life, though it was less reliable during the two years I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya. That experience, plus 32 years in drought-stricken California, instilled in me a reverence for the life-giving substance that we in the United States so easily take for granted.

Still, I often forget to give thanks. I’ve been practicing in the shower, and when I wash dishes.

Sifting through photos of past trips, I noticed that water is a main feature of those travels. I bet that’s true for you, too. Enjoy the soul bath! ✨💦

I like to notice all the ways I am like the animals, the cosmos, and our planet. Just as Earth’s surface is approximately 70% water, so are our bodies. We are not just connected with Nature, we are Nature.

May your days be saturated with love and your soul, fully quenched.
❤️ Pam
