Day 12 of Rachel's Forty Days of Gratitude: Utilities

Today I am grateful for utilities:  running water, natural gas and electricity.   I really didn’t think about these until I traveled to places where you can’t rely on water coming out of the faucet just because you turn on the spigot, or electricity coming on just because you flip the switch. 

Utilities are part of the foundation for our standard of living – bathing, cooking, keeping our houses clean, keeping our homes warm or cool, preserving our food, not to mention making our lawns nice or keeping our swimming pools full. 

And it’s really nice to take a shower and not worry about getting some crazy bacteria just because you open your mouth when you are under the water.

So, so grateful for utilities.
Love, 
Rachel
