it's getting closer or; giving thanks...
17 days...17 looong days and i'm on a plane. away from london, away from work...away from my second home! but i can't wait. i know i probably keep going on about this trip, but that's probably because i'm pretty damn excited! 2 and a half months travelling around the states and cananda. sure it'll be cold, but i know i'm going to have a blast.PLUS, i get to see my sister aimee and her husband michael, and craig and julls - two of my good friends from back home. they'll all be in new york for xmas, and i haven't seen any of them since i left perth in july last year. it's only a pity the rest of my family and friends can't come over for a few weeks.
so in 17 days, i'll leave my second home, the placed i've lived for about 14 months. it kind of feels like i'm leaving all over again - like when i left perth. it's not a bad thing, it's just a little sad to leave all your friends and 'family' for extended periods. a lot happens in a year, and i've certainly had a fantastic time...i just can't wait to get the hell out of here and see what else there is!
happy thanksgiving to everyone out there. we always managed to celebrate thanksgiving back home, and this is my second one away. i remember last year, there was a big meal, the 'family' sitting around the turbine (that's our dining room here at the generator), and there was even a family fight, when noelle decided she'd wack me in the face and make me bleed...aaahhh it felt like a good ole thanksgiving.
this year, there's the thanksgiving superhero party. whilst i'm not quite sure of the connection, everyone seems to be having fun.
and that's what matters. that everyone is happy, healthy, and enjoying themselves. i've been down a bit these last few days with news from home, and it's encouraging to see everyone smiling - happiness is catching...
ok, i'm going off a little here. i guess what i'm saying is this: to everyone back home - i miss you guys! but i can't quite come home just yet. and you know that. i'll be home soon...and to everyone that i've met along my journey so far - remember that there's always a place for you in western australia (after i'm home of course) so feel free to drop in for a bit.
i think you can see where i'm going. i give thanks for my friends, my family, and the life i've lead so far. the ups and downs are fun, and it's the people there with you that make it all matter.
so happy thanksgiving!
