Now I want to start off by saying the real things I missed the most were my family, friends, dogs, and my bed, but these are a few things that I didn’t think I would miss but did so enjoy! 

 

  • Ice
  • Post offices having envelopes and boxes for purchase
  • Being able to communicate easily with the people around you
  • Bathrooms that have toilet paper
  • Toilets that can actually flush toilet paper instead of throwing it in the trash can
  • Having a dish washer
  • Having a clothes dryer
  • Not having to pay for plastic bags
  • Having clean drinking water
  • Finding affordable cheese
  • HOT SHOWERS
  • Hand towels in the bathroom and kitchen
  • Non-stick pans
  • Napkins
  • Being able to use public bathrooms for free
  • Driving
  • Hand soap 
  • Counter space in the kitchen and bathrooms
  • Having more then 3 outfits
  • Chips, queso, and salsa 
  • Privacy. Period. 

 

This year has taught me so much about how blessed I am with the things I have, and to laugh when I get frustrated at the things I don’t. It is so easy to forget how privileged we are with even just the small things.
