It is a late edition, dear friends! I do apologize for the delay. I just realized that for Russia all of my Thankful Thursdays are actually Thankful Fridays and he/she misses the alliteration! Hmmm... maybe I should get this done earlier from now. Chuckles.
This week has been a long one! I was freaking sick as sick can be and there was nothing done with my flat! Talk about frustrating. However, I do have things to be thankful for!
That I Can Hide People on Facebook - I know it sounds rude but sometimes I just don't have a choice. Either someone posts about Jesus all of the time or the other guy is posting about much they don't believe in Jesus all of the time. Now that the election is five seconds away my FB is full of political crap that I don't want to see, unless it's funny. You vote for the guy that best suits you and I'll do the same. Then we have the people who are like OMG I broke up with my boyfriend for the 4,035th time I want to dive into a tub of chocolate and eat my worries away. Yeah, I hide people. I'm not afraid to say it.
Dryers - So apparently in Liverpool it makes sense to provide washers but no dryers. This is interesting because what are people going to do, hang their clothes out in the rain to dry? As Dann and I litter our rooms with wet clothes regularly, I find myself remembering fondly all of those minutes waiting for dryers to stop so I could fold my nice, warm, freshly washed and dried clothes. Those were the days. I am very excited for the time when dryers are back in my life.
Alan - This is an old man from my faux flat. He and another man are pretty much refurbishing the building on their own. The first day I met Alan he told me that he went to school with Paul McCartney. Even though I wasn't here for a year at this point, I knew that everyone went to school with Paul McCartney. I am thankful for Alan because this guy gets stuff done for me. I mean it's at his own pace and all but what can you do.
Van Morrison - For reals, this guy just soothes your soul. I was in Costa today with Alex and "Days Like This" started to play in the speakers above our conversation and instantly I was in a chipper mood. I was singing and tapping the table along to the song. If you don't know who Van Morrison is get your arse on to Spotify and play him. You will thank me for this later! Then you can do your own TT and be thankful for my generous donation of music suggestions.
The a Chapter Has Closed - So recently I found out that a final chapter in a short story of my life has closed (that should have closed a long, long time ago). I was shocked that this happened but once the shock wore off, I was thrilled that it was over. Woohoo! It was like major writer's block and we were all waiting for the ending. I am quite relieved and I feel like there has been a humongous weight lifted off of my shoulders. Sweet.
So what are you thankful for?
And remember: Tell your mama for thank you for raising you. Do a kind act today (every single day). Love your neighbor (and your mama) not because Jesus told you to do it, but because you don't want them stealing your Sunday paper this week!
