18 Things

Written Saturday, July 18


Today was a rough day in many respects. Frankly, I haven't even processed the heavy stuff yet. I might still be in survival/get the job done mode. So all I've got tonight is a list of things for which I'm grateful. The number of items on the list corresponds to today's date - a journaling trick that I love and borrowed from a friend at Aidchild.


Here goes:

1- hot water

2- running water

3- clean water

4- mosquito nets (like the one below = lifesaver!)



5- fans

6- the way our new friends say "sure" like "shua"

7- that although I'm feeling pretty rough this evening, I've been super healthy the majority of the trip (so has the team)!

8- the team (Jeami, Paul, Steven, Judy, Abbey, Heather)


9- our driver Gibson's sensibility and laughter

10- our friend/interpreter/comedian/language teacher, Tom

11- stories

12- mornings on the veranda w/delicious Ugandan hot tea

13- internet (just to have it here and the speed back home)

14- dreams

15- Maggie

16- hope

17- peace

18- the sleep I'm about to get



Sweet dreams...
