Traveling for the last 8 months has definitely given me a unique appreciation for home. I've found that many of the things that I've always taken for granted are really blessings. Not that I've really been deprived or been without, but here are some of my new "grateful fors."
*Roads that are free (of course this is relative in that we pay taxes for our roads, but I'm just happy not to have to dig for change to pay tolls)
* Free parking
* Milk that isn't price regulated by the government (I suppose this may be relative too as I'm sure the government still regulates it some how, but at least it's less obvious)
* Parking right outside the door to my house
* Ground level entry to our home
* A fenced yard (even if it is just rock)
* FREE laundry (again relative in that you pay for detergent and electricity, but it's much less painful than spending $20-30/week to use pay washers and dryers)
* Home projects (Weird I know, but there is something very fulfilling in improving your space)
* Furniture and home decor
* A Barbeque
* Having an instant network of friends (in our ward) wherever we go
* Entire days without having to use the car!!!
