So the day has finally come-I can have my shower, use my washing machine, clean my house-and I don’t feel as excited as I thought I would. I feel kinda weird this morning. The full force of what we’ve been doing has hit me. The ease with which life goes back to normal is strange and almost feels wrong. Washing my hands and flushing the loo felt so extravagant this morning. I can honestly say I feel quite overwhelmed by the reminder of how rich I am. Bono said ‘ Where you live shouldn’t determine whether you live or die’ and yet it does. People will die today because they don’t have enough water. And I have it flowing out of my taps. May I never forget how fortunate I am and may I do everything I can make a difference for the millions of people for whom every day is a water challenge.
