A peak out my window reminds me how blessed and fortunate we really are.To have food, computers, legs, shelter, love... never take things for granted and always live everyday to its fullest, for no one knows when it will be your last.
Wild fact I learned on an U.N. tour in NY,NY.The tour guide stated that one in six people living on Earth do not have ready access to running water... one in six!
Think about that, one in six... count how many people that would be in the next busy room you're in.
The guide continued to say that children in Africa were not receiving an education because instead of going to school, the children were sent to rivers tens of miles away to fetch water for their village.
My good buddy Benny Boy chatted to me in a silent tone - for if this crazy tour guide would hear you talking - you're a goner.
Benny Boy went on to whisper that one campaign the U.S. is supporting has to do with playground equipment at village elementary schools....
I said "whaaat?"
Benny Boy told me that the playground toys kids play on during school acts like a generator and pumps water from the river to the town.... the kids can spend time in the class room and receive an education while the town can flourish. Teeter Totters and "the playground toys that kids run around a circle in and push one another" are currently the most successful pieces of machinery.
Don't take things for granted, take a deep breath and look around once in a while...
