thanksgiving - day four.

By recommendation, staying hydrated is part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Consuming sixty-four ounces of water each day may seem like an act of discipline, but according to UNICEF  in 2008, 884 million lack access to safe water supplies.  That's approximately 1 in 8 people around the world.

When showering, brushing my teeth or asking for a glass of water sans ice, with a lime, I rarely pause for even an instant to be thankful that the risk of disease is slim to none as a result of my contact with this "elixir of life."

In our celebration of abundance, may we remember that not everyone on the face of this planet can take charge of their health by simply drinking clean water.  Looking for a way to make a difference?  Visit www.water.org to learn about WaterCredit and how your donation can have a significant impact!
