Today I am grateful for potable water.
Upon my return to the States I have realized the convenience of clean tap water everywhere. We weren't able to drink water in Mexico and even showering or washing hands the water had a different, more slippery texture. I'm grateful for the convenience, availability, and luxury of clean water.
One thing I've been noticing as I am paying more attention to what I'm grateful for. I imagine it's a common experience when one is trying to become more aware of anything. But for me, I'm noticing every day things that I don't think twice about like oxygen and clean water. Another example was from a few weeks ago that I found a little bit more amusing: On my normal route bike route to work there was a biker in front of me. As usual, I was running a bit late so I was riding faster to get to work on time. As I approached to pass I realized the other biker was smoking a cigarette and I was inhaling a little bit of smoke. I quickly passed him and thought, "Man, I'm grateful that most people don't smoke while biking." I'm not sure if I would have had that thought if I wasn't doing this project.
