I have enjoyed most of these things again now that I am integrating back into US society. Please feel free to add your comment as I am sure I have not covered everything…just the first ten that come to mind.
*These are in no particular order
- Showers that last longer than 2 minutes
- Drinking water straight from the tap.
- Baths
- Candles (I am not ‘per se’ a candle guy, but heck, I love to buy some nice smelling candles to burn, they enhance the ambiance too…)
- Doing my laundry when I want to, no sign up sheet.
- Shopping for fresh products and cooking for my wife and I.
- Oceans and beaches that are safe (to swim or hang-out)
- Variety (in almost everything, food, TV channels, movie theaters, shopping stores…)
- Consistent preaching, teaching, and worship at church every week. (although we are looking for a new church since we have moved)
- Diet Cola and Cheetos are always available here. (oh, and frosted mini-wheats too!)
Again, there are probably many other obvious ones I have missed, but these came to me right away when I sat down to write this post…please add your own in the comments.
I would say having your own space is a big one as well. Although I enjoyed friends always being around, sometimes I needed to get away! And it’s so difficult sharing your life with 350 other people!
