40 Things I'm Thankful For

This Lent I will be posting a picture of something I'm grateful for everyday!  

Here's what I'm thankful for Day 1: 
Laughter 

“The most thoroughly wasted of all days is that on which one has not laughed”
~ Nicolas de Chamfort

At the end of a long day at school last week I went to the refrigerator in the teachers' lounge and took a big gulp of what I thought was my tea.  Once the flavor hit me I ran outside and spit it out.  Apparently cleaning supplies are kept in water bottles in refrigerators here in Belize.  Of course it wasn't enough to make me sick and we all got a good laugh out of it so it was definitely worth it.  Who keeps cleaning supplies in water bottles anyway?  Much less in the refrigerator?!  I found out it was an almost all natural insect repellent cleaner they use on the floors.  Only in Belize!  It's still in the fridge, but someone was kind enough to use some masking tape and identify it as "insect repellent"   Hope you all had a good laugh today!  

I saw this cart of cleaning supplies in the bathroom at the airport.  Using water bottles really is the norm here... but at least they're labelled!

  1. That is crazy. Just a question for you? Will drinking this pesticide prevent you from getting any of the "pests" in your intestines?
