We are living among a culture where you feel like you have too much in life when you are able to buy a box of juice, or own a washing machine. I've been in tent-homes of women where their children sleep on dirt floors and mice run beside my feet.
I definitely have NOTHING to complain about...
Having said that, I was laughing at myself this morning when I thought about how many times I passed over buying a bag of pretzels at the grocery store when I lived in America, but now I'd kill for some.
I had prepared myself to miss Chick-fil-a, Target, sweet tea, beef and watching college football games, but I actually find myself missing these things instead, in no particular order:
• pretzels
• cheese...real cheese, all varieties of cheese
• sandwich meat
• berries - especially blueberries
• a vacuum
• drywall....yes, a miraculous building material where your whole wall doesn't crumble when you try to nail something into it.
• an oven, a dishwasher, a dryer (for clothes)
• swiffer mops
• hard wood or carpeted floors
• all things in the frozen food section of the grocery store
• yards, fields, anything with grass
Oh, there's so much more, but these are ones that cross my mind daily.
