Hi Friends and Family!
HAPPY day after THANKSGIVING!
The Irish don't celebrate Thanksgiving (they didn't really do the whole 'Pilgrims and Indians' thing), but I wanted to take this moment to be thankful for everything amazing in my life.
Certainly family is at the top of that list, and I am definitely missing my family during this holiday. I won't be making it home for Christmas either (I'm excited to spend Christmas in Dublin), but I sure do love and miss my family. The best support in the world.
My friends, many of whom are my familial extensions. I've made some pretty incredible friends in my short time in Dublin, but I am grateful for them. My friends that are still in the Chicago-area (and the rest of the US) have been on my mind a lot. I love you all!
The opportunity to be in Ireland. I'm not 100% sure how the stars aligned to get me here, but here I am. And that's amazing.
Heat. Man, it's getting cold and I sure do like heat.
My sense of humour. No, really. I'm hilarious.
My bike! I freaking love that thing! It's getting pretty cold to be on it though. I need to purchase better riding gear.
Theatre. I have learned SO much about it, and I am looking at productions from different angles all the time. I am so thankful that I have the resources to see some really cool (and not so cool) stuff.
Lush. There's one right outside the main gate of Trinity. I smell delicious most of the time. It really picks up my mood.
Tea. It's just awesome.
The internet. Sounds trivial, I know, but it's really important and amazing. We have the entire world at our fingertips.
There is so so so so so much more to be thankful for, but I'm going to stop there for tonight. I hope you're all happy, healthy, and doing great things. I love you.
