Now that we are home we can reflect back on our experience and realize all the things in life that we are grateful for. First and foremost, I am grateful for the wonderful family I have. My kids are happy and healthy and bring me the most joy out of life. I am grateful that I am employed and can afford healthcare. I have many amenities that people in other countries don't have access to. I can feel safe going to the grocery store after dark. I am grateful for a public school system. I don't have to see armed guards at the corner of every street.
On a lighter note.....I am grateful that I can flush toilet paper. I am grateful for no longer needing pre-emptive Imodium each morning. I am happy to have access to a refrigerator and my own comfy bed. As much as I enjoy rice and beans, I am grateful for a variety of my familiar foods. I am grateful for a reliable hot water heater.
Things I'll miss...The wonderful people I met along my travels. Fresh banana daiquiri's. Learning new Spanish words from the Honduran children at the Red Cross. Sipping a Port Royal with my friends.
I'm sure I've missed a few things but will always look back on this experience and realize all the things life has to offer me.
