It probably comes as no surprise that I have grown tremendously during the last half year in Tanzania. My patience level has increased, my perspective on life has changed and my priorities are currently being rearranged. And, each day I come face to face with some of the most obvious life lessons that we, or I, in America seem to quickly forget when 'life' happens. Here are twelve simple truths of which I am reminded daily.
1. Steal the Bacon is a sure way to capture the hearts of children, regardless of continent.
2. Joy really is found in the simplest things.
3. The glass is half empty or half full….or a good eye patch.
4. None of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.
5. Dance to the beat of your own drum.
6. Don't take yourself too seriously.
7. Reading gives our imagination wings.
8. A watermelon a day keeps the doctor away.
9. 90% of communication is non-verbal.
10. There is always sunshine after the storm.
11. A day without laughter is a day wasted.
12. No man can sincerely try to help another without also helping himself.
