(Jessica Leong) Living here in Sudan, I’ve learned to appreciate the little things.  The days can be long and hard here, spending 8 hours in the clinic in a small room with one window and no fan.  The day can often be overwhelming.  But…I’ve learned to look at things differently and I’m sure my perspective will continue to change as I’m only 1/4 of my way through my visit here.  The things I appreciate now…
…a breeze that comes in the room when the curtain is opened.
…the shower being bug-free.
…finding more gauze than I thought I had.
…sleeping in 15 minutes more than usual.
…the smile of a young child in the arms of its mother.
…hot tea in the morning.
…the cricket’s chirp outside my window as it sings me to sleep.
…licking the bowl and spoon after dipping marshmellows in chocolate.
