Things I learned in India

1. Toilet paper is a privilege, not a right...apply this same lesson to toilets and deodorant.
2. Two people do not need to speak the same language in order to communicate.
3. I can survive and thrive in a third world country.
4. I LOVE to travel and hate to vacation.
5. I love heat, no matter how hot and I hate cold, no matter how cool.
6. People will respond to me the same when I look my worst (my whole trip) as they do when I'm put together.
7. I love adventures, excitement and even an element of danger.
8. I can't save every animal and child in need (not in an ego way but in a "I am a bad person if I don't help every time I see need" way)
9. I like people and I am a shameless flirt.
10. I may live a very "settled down" life for someone my age but I came to the other side of the earth and discovered there is no where else I'd rather be than at home with my children and animals.
11. And maybe the most disapointing for the people around me who had hoped for a different outcome...I learned that no country in the world can cure me of my OCD tendancies if India didn't do it! ;-)  I am just as anal retentive as when I left Canada.


Thank you all for listening.
