Ten blessings

In no particular order:

1. Work I enjoy: teaching, singing, writing
2. Mom, an easy houseguest
3. Having enough to eat, and I don't mean just while I'm doing Weight Watchers. It really bothers me that so many people in the world go hungry. I think it's time to start contributing to Oxfam again.
4. Peace and quiet first thing in the morning
5. Three beautiful (sleeping) children (see #4)
6. The "starship" minivan, which lets me go where I need to go
7. Knowing that whatever it is, Earl and I can work through it as a couple
8. The vast network that supports us: family, friends, kids' therapists and teachers, understanding employers, other parents
9. Fitting it all in, most days
10. Realizing that a list of ten blessings doesn't even begin to cover it
