It was a much needed vacation and though I&#8217;m in Ghana quite often(depending on how fast you think a year goes by), this particular trip felt quite different. I believe it had a lot to do with my new outlook on life, and the kinds of things I now felt were more important, like the little blessings I overlooked everyday. When I list my favorite moments in Ghana, the simple moments I shared with loved ones seem to take the cake: seeing faces I haven&#8217;t seen in six years, rekindling friendships, learning and trying new things, time alone with family, and other really special moments\u00a0no DSLR could ever capture(&#8230;quite right). To be fair, I went almost two weeks without taking out my camera or remembering my iPhone could photograph.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5059\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Here-and-Now-Ghana-Edition.jpg\" alt=\"Here and Now Instagram - Ghana Edition\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Here-and-Now-Ghana-Edition.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Here-and-Now-Ghana-Edition-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Here-and-Now-Ghana-Edition-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Here-and-Now-Ghana-Edition-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But of course, they were many moments I did capture on my phone like the ones from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/armenyl\/\" target=\"_blank\">my Instagram feed<\/a>\u00a0up here\u00a0which also comes in as today&#8217;s <a title=\"The Here And Now Challenge\" href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2014\/08\/11\/armenyls-here-and-now\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here and Now<\/a> feature\u00a0and the\u00a0very\u00a0first of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Yummy coconut after Sunday&#8217;s Church service, quite too many visits to the beach, enjoying the warm African sun by the pool on the hills of <a title=\"Postcards from Ghana \u2013 Hillburi\" href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/01\/21\/hillburi\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hillburi<\/a>, waking up super early to go enjoy an impromptu\u00a0getaway to a resort in the Eastern Region of Ghana before the rest of the world woke up and the accompanying calls and stress\/work of the day catches up to us.
