I do apologize for the inexcusable delay in TT this week (or last week?) I had a dissertation to complete (and start). I guess that is kind of a good excuse. :) Naturally, I have things to be grateful for. I hope that you do too.
That Eddie Harrison is Cancer Free! - Eddie is the lead singer of the Shakers. The band that a group of us go to see play every Sunday night in the Cavern Club. The last time we saw Eddie performing was in March. It was when Jenn came to Liverpool for a visit. Then, he was just gone. After a few weeks the news was broken to us that he was diagnosed with cancer. We were a devastated bunch. Constant support flooded Eddie's Facebook page sending prayers, thoughts, and positive vibes his way. Well, since the last Thankful Thursday, we received news that after seven months of nonsense, Eddie is cancer free. We could not be happier! I shouted when I saw the news and happy tears started to run down my cheeks. Esmee texted me sharing her excitement. For Eddie's clean bill of health, I am most thankful for this week.
Hot Water - So this place that I am living in is not the nicest place in the world. I mean it isn't terrible by any means and I have a roof over my head but a constant supply of hot water isn't that much to ask for! I had to take an ice cold shower the yesterday. While I was miserable about that, today's incredibly hot water was so pleasant. It reminded me how grateful we should all be for hot, clean water.
Falling Leaves - The building where I live now has a pretty huge "garden" (yard) surrounding it. It is sort of heavily wooded. It gives me a small taste of fall in America. When Dann and I are waiting for taxis, I can't help but accept that the falling leaves around us give me an incredibly feeling of peace (and organized chaos). There is just something freeing about a vibrantly colored leaf falling to the ground that I adore. You should be thankful for them, too. Just be careful when driving around in the rain this time of year :)
Bedbug - I just think he's great. Not a day goes by that I am not thankful for him in someway. Of course, not a day goes by that he doesn't drive me insane. If he'd just pick up his darn socks.
That My Dissertation is Completed - Listen, it may not be great. But I did close to 16K words in three and a half days. It's done. I am happy.
What are you thankful for?
