Part 3 of 3: What I Hope to Bring Forward From Rwanda
early morning runs, and generally having a life before work in the mornings
making an event out of meals and lingering over them
patience
being happy with whatever comes to me, even if it's not even close to what I asked for
thinking about how much water I'm using and how to economize
listening to podcasts and the radio
African tea
diving right in with foreign languages and not being embarrassed when I mess up
fully appreciating the ocean
being terrified of something and not letting that stop me from giving it a go
making meals out of whatever I have on hand, and just generally making do with what's available instead of getting the perfect gadget to fit every need
taking rest when it's needed
occasionally having an electricity-free day and doing work by candlelight
traveling with no itinerary
figuring out what I love about my current life and then focusing on that while letting the not-so-great stuff fade into the background, thereby being happy wherever I am, instead of constantly wishing for somewhere else (thanks, Mum :) )
not closing my teeth all the way (see next post)
