Conclusion
There’s nothing like water — whether it’s the clear, drinkable water in your glass or the salty water of the ocean.
Whatever came to mind first, your physical response to it is a reminder of just how vital water is to your existence and your well-being.
Just the sight of it can make you feel more awake and refreshed, even before you touch it or take a drink. Second only to breathable air, water keeps you alive and awake.
And you’re grateful for it. You want it to be available to everyone — to refresh them body and soul.
Allow it to revive and restore you. Water is energy as much as hydration. Share that energy with someone else who needs it today.
And may your resourcefulness and good will influence everything you do.
