And, to be fair, the things I have gotten WAY too used to:

1. Living in a real community.

2. Pupusas and panes rellenos.

3. My fabulous host family.

4. The mountains.

5. Beautiful kids, everywhere.

6. Fresh oranges, pineapple, mamones, jacotes, mangos, anonas, japote and maranon japones.

7. Time. Time to read and read and watch dvds and play with kids and sit still.

8. Escaping to San Salvador, appreciating bad tv and American food.

9. That feeling when projects work out, or close friends decide to go on to college.

10. Taking 8 people out to dinner for $7.30.

11. Being told I am amazing and wonderful and will be missed like crazy, by amazing wonderful people who I will miss like crazy when I leave.

12. Recognizing (for the first time) that I am lucky as hell to be an American.

I drop a comment whenever I especially enjoy a article on a
site or if I have something to contribute to the discussion.

Usually it's a result of the sincerness communicated in the article I read. And on this post Untitled. I was excited enough to drop a leave a responsea response :-) I do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay.

Is it only me or does it look like like a few of these remarks come across
like they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And,
if you are writing at additional social sites, I'd like to keep up with you. Would you list all of your communal pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
