More to be grateful for

Written by: Kaitlin Sandeno - Posted in: Star Blogs

So I mentioned earlier that being here makes you appreciate little things from home. Well my list keeps getting longer. I am thankful that we live in a country that doesn’t have the constant smell of (for the lack of a better word) throw up. It’s so stinky here. I appreciate that I can use the water from the sink to brush my teeth and not have to use bottled water (it’s pretty annoying). That we have sheets on our bed (there’s only a blanket on our beds). That I don’t have to share my room with lizards and ants. And that I don’t get eaten alive by mosquitos. And lastly, so far, what I am most grateful for is that we don’t have to use “squatters” for our toilets. These are literally on the floor. Ya, no thanks.

I am thankful to live in the best country in the world that makes me feel spoiled whenever I travel abroad. Ok, that is all for now :)

    I totally agree with you, Kaitlin! When I was staying in the ghetto parts of Jamaica for our mission trip I really learned to appriciate what I have!

    You know what I love? That we live in a country where people can voice their opinion without being judged. WHAT A WONDERFUL COUNTRY AMERICA IS.
