Today I thought about making a list of things to be grateful for when I return home.

I’ve been exposed to a lot of lifestyle differences here, and I figured it would be powerful, years later, to consult my list and be thankful for all I would (hopefully) have.

But then I recognized, as I refilled my water bucket: it ain’t that bad at all.

You make it work.

Just like all the other animals, humans adapt.

And there’s still so very much to be grateful for.
