In no particular order... 1. The awesome weather lately - it's crazy how much it affects my mood! 2. DH - he has been amazingly helpful the last few days 3. Our "farm" of adorable animals! 4. Both of our extended families 5. TB friends - you ladies are awesome and I appreciate the support, especially recently during my end of cycle breakdown and now that we're benched 6.

1. The hubs. He always so supportive of me--even in the worst of times. 2. Charlie-pup, our rottweiler "son". He is always at my side, a loyal friend. 3. Nature (and all of the plants, animals, fungi, etc that she harbors). She is the mother of mothers. We are a part of her--and she of us. I only wish humans would treat her more respectfully. 4. My close friends. I have very few (and most of them live in different states or countries), but they are an important part of my life. 5. Food and cooking. 6. My nieces and nephews. They are just amazing souls, and I love any time I get to spend with them. 7. Morning tea rituals. It used to be coffee, but I stopped drinking coffee a few years ago (due to ulcers). I love brewing up my tea and sitting in my recliner with a good article in the morning. 8. My bed. I love sinking into the soft sheets and plush mattress when I'm aching and tired. 9. Financial stability. Growing up/starting out poor (and even experiencing homelessness) and having to work our way up to a good place definitely makes us cherish what we have now! 10. Good health. I'm not in perfect health, but I think I'm doing pretty darn good for my age! I rarely ever go to the doctor!
