     @keikilove @acleverusername I love that you both mentioned financial stability! I'm going to add that to the list too. It took work to get there and I'm thankful to be able to say it!

    1. Financial stability
    2. A stable job with great benefits
    3. The drive to learn
    4. Growing up on a farm
    5. My sisters
    6. A cool house (as in cold because of AC) but I actually do think our house is pretty cool
    7. Cell phones and having pictures and memories right in our pocket
    8. My health
    9. Good food!
    10. Scenic drives

    @kgg2241 ditto re: it taking work to get here. There was a period in my life where I had $80K+ in student loans. It felt so good when I finally paid them off at the end of 2018.
