Just a few factoids to keep in mind as we grumble through our day:
*Half the world's population is living without access to clean drinking water. (BBC)
*At least 80% of the world's population lives on less than $10 a day. (globalissues.org)
*25% of the world's population doesn't have electricity. (Baker Institute)
*Three quarters of the world doesn't have internet access. (internetworldstats.com)
Living in the land of plenty (Southern California), it is often difficult to comprehend and appreciate just how stinking lucky we have it. I am trying to do this more, and find that facts like these help to keep me grounded. What thoughts help you to stay grounded? Share!

About Me

- When I'm not chasing my children around and/or exchanging sympathetic looks with my husband, I teach physiological psychology and try to get some research done. I'm livin' large (HA!) in the OC, thankfully surrounded by family and great friends. Life is sweet.

All I have to do is go for a walk, living in a foreign country is a real eye opener!
I bet! That is one reason I really want to travel with the kids - to give us all a chance to witness first hand how very fortunate we are.
