It’s World Water Day in a changed world.
I don’t know about you, but the last few days, I’ve found myself thumbing through months- and years-old photo albums on my phone and scattered across harddrives, scouring for welcome distractions through good memories.
Two things are strikingly clear: that doing this helps, a lot, to relieve some of the anxiety and uncertainty I’m feeling; and the other is how central water — whether it be our bays, rivers, lakes, straights or the stunning open ocean — has been to some of the most cherished moments in my life.
So I open this post up to you to do the same. On this #WorldWaterDay, let’s lift each other up a bit and share a photo (or photos) of our favourite family memories connected to that force which connects us all: our water. You can share by commenting on our #WorldWaterDay post on Facebook or Instagram or replying on Twitter.
Take care of yourself, take care of your community, and we’ll get through this together. — Jon
