Where I used to feel frustrated at not being able to find everything on my shopping list, or having to decide between just corn flakes,
muesli, and some kind
of honey puffs in the cereal aisle, after a year living abroad, I found myself just as aggravated on a trip
back to the U.S. by the amount
of time I spent trying to decide between 50 different types
of chewing gum or shampoo.
After all, who doesn't dream
of tackling their
muesli in a sun - drenched expanse
of kitchen - cum - living - cum - dining area while the fragrance
of freshly cut lawn wafts in over oak decking through drawn -
back bi-fold doors...
