Life of Luxury
Ok, this is not to make our friends in America feel guilty, but I do want to comment on what I am considering to be luxurious about life here.
1. Hot or cold, clean, drinkable water from the tap.
2. Easy driving conditions: not having to be hyper-alert for animals, children, adults, loaded carts, cyclists, and other vehicles who are about to jump in front of our car at any moment.
3. Cooking and preparing meals with anything and everything easily at my fingertips. This weekend it was delicious vanilla yogurt with fresh strawberries.
4. Playgrounds and libraries - a culture that caters to children.
5. Actual changing of the seasons - this morning I saw my breath for the first time in three and a half years!
6. Dependable plumbing and electricity.
7. Grandparents close by who are happy to babysit their adorable grandkids.
8. Church nursery which is safe and enjoyable and educational.
9. Being able to understand EVERYTHING anyone says to me, and everyone understands everything I'm saying.
10. A dishwasher!
And the list goes on, but these are on the top of my head. On the downside, life here is jam-packed busy, and our kids have caught every last American cough, cold, and fever, but otherwise we are doing great and are enjoying the life of luxury.
