It's all a matter of perspective!

Currently I am staying at this guest house in Yaounde. I stayed here my first several days in the country as well and then I remember thinking, “This is simple but adequate and clean.” Now seven weeks and many nights spent in small villages later, I marvel at the spaciousness, the immaculate floor, the concrete entrance, the nightstand and the hangers in the closet. I wish I could bottle this appreciation for the small things and take some out to sip on at home when I start to forget and become ungrateful- or maybe I could even hand it out as souvenirs!
