Water, Cash Power, and MTN internet

It is amazing how we measure measure our day in the simple things.

Back home, we take for granted that we have fairly consistent water, electricity, and internet. Occasionally, one of them might be out for a little while, but eventually it returns to normal.

Here, it is a different story. I remember waking up yesterday, and realized that the internet was good, the electricity was on, and I had good water pressure. This was rare for all 3 to happen at the same time. Sure enough, when I came home for lunch and later when I returned from work, the triumvirate were still humming along, like nothing was amiss. I was shocked, actually.I used that time to charge everything I had, to take a hot shower after Gym Tonic (African aerobics), and to make some important phone calls. And it stayed like this until I went to bed.

This AM, water pressure was meh, power was out, and internet was mixed. But I knew that I would still have a good day. Because in the grand scheme of things, these are not necessities, rather luxuries. And as long as I kept going on this path here in Rwanda, I would be better off because of it. I am learning not to measure life in luxuries, but how I am living that life everyday.

Until next time...

Love life, Find meaning, Be happy,
