One Good Thing

Throughout our time in Kenya, we saw many heartbreaking things.  Poverty, garbage, orphans.  Those " starving kids in Africa" we heard about when our parents were trying to get us to eat - well, we met them. We know their names.

So to help ourselves and each other, we focused on One Good Thing.
Each evening before we split up for the night, we went around the dinner table to hear One Good Thing from everyone. Little things, big things, feelings, - something we learned or gained - something positive.  It ranged from things like "George made me laugh today"  or "I liked hearing the baby class count - Numba one numba two numba three" to "We got a lot done today. We worked hard. "

One Good Thing is something I learned in Kenya that I will keep with me always - wherever I go.

Maybe before we sleep at night, we should all be thankful for One Good Thing.
