(Wow. I didn't realize I haven't written in two weeks! Sorry. I've been extremely busy during that time and to make matters worse, I wasn't feeling well. Still getting over an itchy throat and cough, but much better now! =) There are many things to share, but a little at a time...)
I'm sitting on my bed, warmed by my down comforter. It's almost 2am and is raining outside. The steady beating of raindrops in the backyard and dripping water from the rain pipes is so soothing. I wish I had a mug of hot cocoa or hot tea in my hands... I love the rain. It makes everything so beautiful. It makes everything grow. It sustains life. Imagine how life would be without fresh water or a very limited supply of. The first thing people would do is dig deeper into the earth to find more water, but this is not a long-term resolution and will be very expensive. Some are also looking into recycling household water. This technology sounds risky and unappetizing, but I think it's a great idea. To hinder the threat of a drought and to give developing technologies the time to mature, we should all practice to save our fresh water. Don't let the faucet run when you're not using it directly. This is something EVERYONE should already know, but I still see people leaving the faucet or hose on when not in use. Did you know that some people still water the lawn when it's raining? What's the point? I've been turning off the shower when I'm lathering to save water. Doing that everyday will accumulate to many gallons of water per month... I've digressed again. Simple pleasure #3 = rain.
