ガーナにいると幸せを感じる度合いが変わった自分に驚く毎日です。

日本ではオンラインで検索してすぐにポチッと買えてしまう物が、ガーナでは何ヶ月探しても見つからないなんていうことが日常茶飯事。

やっとやっと発見できた瞬間に感じた幸せは忘れられません。
今まで全く興味の無かったその探し物が大好きになり、発見した時の写真を何度も見返してしまいます。

停電や断水も多いガーナ。
お家に電気と水があることは幸せなんだと、恵まれたことなんだと心の底から感じられます。頻繁にある停電でもやっと電気が付いた瞬間に感じる幸せは忘れられません。

ガーナにいるとどんどんピュアな自分が見えてくる。

"普通"ってなんだろう。"可哀想"ってなんだろう。と考えさせられる時間が増えていく。

自分が普通だと思っていたことが、世界のどこかでは普通じゃなかったり。遠くから見ると可哀想と思っていたことは、案外自分が経験してみると幸せを感じられることかもしれなかったり。

ガーナは日々私達に沢山の気づきを与えてくれます。

Every day I am surprised at how much happiness I feel in Ghana has changed.

In Japan, it is common for people to search for something online and instantly change it, but in Ghana they can't find it even after months of searching.

I'll never forget the happiness I felt the moment I finally found it.
I have come to love finding things that I had no interest in before, and I keep looking back at the photos I took when I found them.

Ghana suffers from frequent power outages and water outages.
I feel from the bottom of my heart that I am lucky and blessed to have electricity and water at home. Even during frequent power outages, I will never forget the happiness I felt the moment the electricity was turned on.

When I stay in Ghana, I see a more and more pure version of myself.

What does "normal" mean? What does "poor pity" mean? I have more and more time to think about this.

What I thought was normal may not be normal somewhere in the world. What I thought was pathetic when viewed from a distance may turn out to be something that makes me feel happy when I experience it myself.

Ghana gives us many new insights every day.
