1. I got to have an amazing time in Ghana, full of things that made me not only think about the differences in cultures- and the similarities- but I also got to learn a lot about myself as a person; I got to think about the kind of person I want to be, and how to be that person.
2. On my way home I had fantastic time staying with many wonderful people and I am totally grateful to them for taking me in and FEEDING ME!!!!! and doing my laundry! Thank you to all of you who dealt with my culture shock of: it is sooo cold here, why does everyone look upset or sick, why can't I bargain for my taxi ride? It was a very good thing that I had places to stay; I don't think my culture shock would have gone over well if I had to pay for lodging. :)
3. I am lucky that I have friends that don't mind that I don't have a phone. I forgot my phone in Boston after my rush to get out of the house and to the airport and left my phone at my uncle's house. He is sending it to me, but this week has been one without my phone, which means I am more glued to my computer than ever. That's another thing that is very odd, HAVING MY OWN COMPUTER that I don't have to pay for, which I don't have to borrow, that's portable... it's crazy!
so yeah, these and other things are ones to be thankful for. I am home now, will be all summer, and this is the last posting. I would love to share more of my story, just ask me.
love to you all!
Blessed
