W is for ...

... Water!

Today is day one of the June gratitude challenge - and I'm intending to post a photo every day of something I'm grateful for in my life. As I'm still finishing the A-Z the first few days will be an overlap of the two!

So .. water .. it can be easy to be complacent, and take for granted that if I want clean drinking water, all I need to do is turn on a tap. When I'm reminded that 884 million people in the world do not have access to safe water, 2.6 billion people in the world do not have access to adequate sanitation, and 1.4 million children die every year from diarrhoea caused by unclean water and poor sanitation, then I remember just how fortunate I am.

As the heat is rising I think water will certainly be one of the things I'm grateful for this month. Great way to combine the two challenges.

I so agree, water is so normal to us, but imagine living without it! Cool shot!

@herussell @dulciknit @geertje @phil_howcroft @sparkle Thank you everyone! I've thought of all sorts of ways of making the shot more exciting, since I posted it - but as a first attempt at a water shot, I'm ok with it. I appreciate all your words :o)
