Necessities

Living in Kenya shows you what is necessary.  Turns out electricity and running water are relatively easy to live without.  A few days ago I was whining a lot because I wouldn't have running water for a while.  But two hours in to not having running water I hardly noticed anymore, it just takes a little bit of extra work and getting up 10 minutes earlier to boil water for a bath ;).  My beloved Mexican food is not necessary and neither are my pretty clothes.  I am still very attached to my phone and internet.  Water and electricity I can live without, but when the phone lines go down I feel a little bit of panic.  But the only thing that is irreplaceable are my wonderful friends and family.  It's such a blessing to get to see people in person and spend time together having a meal or playing a game or just sitting together, I'm so excited to be able to do that soon!
