And here we are at the end of the road The last week of TT from the UK. Who would have ever thought that this day would come so quickly and with so many surprises along the way!
While I've been busy packing and unpacking, donating and keeping, griping and complaining, I've also been thinking of all I should be thankful for in my life.
The Beatles - I don't think I've ever actually expressed my gratitude for the group's existence. But I am grateful. If it weren't for them I would have no reason to travel to Liverpool in the first place. When I consider everything that has happened as a result of my desire to come to Liverpool because of the Beatles it sort of takes my breath way (but not in a cheesy 80's song way). So, yeah, Universe thanks for forming that little band from Liverpool. It did me a world of difference.
My Acceptance into Liverpool Hope - My professor handpicks his students. The year I started he accepted 14, this year 12 and if it was up to him he would only accept 7. I actually know of one person who applied and didn't get in. I don't know what in the heck made him pick me. We all know I am the worst student in the world but that essay I wrote was pretty stellar. You know the saying "if you can't blind them will brilliance baffle them with bullshoot?" I suppose that's what I did!
Dann's Father - He is kind enough to take us to the airport to pick up Lolly and then to bring us back to Liverpool to take some of my crap and then take us to the airport when I leave. That's a lot of hassle. However, I do have his grandkid in my belly so I guess that gives me a bit of an advantage!
The Ability to Email - Sometimes you can run up a phone bill pretty stinkin' high when you're calling doctors all of the time. My doctor in Baltimore corresponds by email for most things and that makes things much easier than calling the office a million times trying to arrange appointments. I'm happy that the email function of life has come into existence.
The Pilot and Co-Pilot of my Mom's Flight - They are going to be super aware and pay 150% attention while transporting my mother from Philadelphia to Manchester. I am quite glad for this and I'd like to thank them in advance for their complete cooperation!
What are you thankful for?
