Water

I realized just today that not having running water isn't abnormal for me.  I thought about getting into the shower but wondered if I had enough water in my bucket to take a shower.  

My water...

I realized this is not how I was raised but I don't even think twice about having to use a bucket to bathe anymore.  I actually started to think about how odd it will be for me to take a shower with warm/hot water actually dripping from a faucet above my head.  I am not sure I want that.  I know this will change once I arrive home but as for now, I enjoy working (physically) for my basic needs.  

I also started to realize why it can be so difficult for missionaries to be "okay" with returning home to all of our amazing gadgets and blessings we have been given in America by our forefathers sacrifices.

I've taken the smallest things for granted.

I realize this more and more each day I spend in Ghana.
