Food for thought

My original blog was much longer but I have summer it up in an eail I wrote to my parents, "So here I am with only two days left in Kampala. Since Sunday, the homesickness has turned into sadness. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to come home, but today I realized I am finally comfortable in this place. Until today, I have been restless during free time and thinking of all the things I am missing. I truly think I have been given a gift in Kampala of appreciative-ness . I have let so many petty things in life tear me down when I should just be thankful for what I have. Seeing the people here do what they do everyday and still being thankful has shown me a lot. I have never heard one Ugandan complain about drinking bottled water everyday or even complain about the miles they walk from the village in order to obtain that water. Who am I to ever complain again about what I can't have when I already have so much?"
