Heeeey monster readers, this is Day 4 of the gratidude challenge and it'll be a quickie. I do plan to bring a long and thoughtful post about community, Steemit and you - the readers.
However, I could not leave this for another day, as the idea came while I was washing the dishes earlier today.
You can check my other positive days down below.

There is one small detail in everyones life that we only notice when we don't have - In some cases not having it means no life. This element that most of us take for granted and over use without thinking about it.
Once per week mom passes by my flat for a visit; she lives in another city, so this is one of the reasons I'm posting this in a less neat and thoughtful way. This doesn't mean I don't think this isn't important, in fact, it may be one of the most important posts of my series.
Anyway, at noon we were reunited in the kitchen preparing our lunch and I had Steemit opened to answear your awesome comments. As I was doing so, it occured me to tell mom about this challenge and how great the idea is. Awesome how it brings positivism into people's life as a whole, how we can find value on every small aspect of life.
Mom was standing there listening to me talk while being busy with pans and beefs. So, I continued.
- The water we are using to wash the dishes! Aren't you grateful for being able to turn on the faucet and having freash water? - I said.
I was also telling her about the situation in Cape Town and how they do not have the chance we have. You can check the news HERE.
This is why I'm grateful for today: For having fresh, clean and drinkable water on my faucet.

Whenever you turn on the faucet for too long; or when you complain that it's disgusting drinking from the faucet; or those days that you stay way too long in the shower; or when you decide to fix that leak tomorrow, and never do. Remember, some places don't have water available.
It's a simple element of our life, that could potentialy kill us in one week in case we run out. Think about it.
I was tagged by @riverflows to:

I will try to pull off this challenge, but it may not be consecutive days. My life just got a little bit more hectic. Me and my partner Kim just bought a new home! It is still a mobile home, but a much newer and nicer one than the current one we live in. I also started volunteering at a local community center for people with disabilites. The just lost a bunch of funding and I joined their fundraising team as one of their team leaders. On top of that, I started a new medication for my autoimmune diseases a little while back and am in the process of weening off my old meds and am hitting a couple of rough patches that make it a little harder to keep up with things.
I definitely have plenty to be thankful for and much to write about though. I just might need to spread it out over a bit more time so I can pull everything off.
I love the idea of this challenge and I love that you chose water for this particular piece. It is quite possibly the most underappreciated substance on earth and one we really need to cherish while we have it.
@veckinon, what can I say? You rock man!
Congratulations on your new house, that's awesome and it's a lot of work to move in, I'm sure. I'm starting to think you multiply into one hundred veckinons; you help others, move to a new house, take care of your health and also find time for Steemit hahaha.
Your genuinely have a good heart, that's rare today my friend!
You don't need to rush with the challenge, you can start it tomorrow or next week or whenever you want basically. The idea here is to just share our gratitude across Steemit.
I wish you great success in your new house and a speedy recovery. Cheers.
So... no more complaint about the rain?
No more indeed! hahahaha Actually my problem is not the rain, my problem is getting web on the rain hahahaa different beasts.
But I've put in my mind that if I want to travel more by bike, I sould not be worried about the weather anymore, there will be days where I won't be able to scape a shower.
There will be days that you will need one too. haha
