1. Health - I suppose God gives us things to suffer through so we appreciate all of the things that are in good working order. Bodies are a miracle.
2. A warm safe place to live - We recently invited a neighbor over who grew up in post-World War 2 Eastern Germany. Among other things, he told us about his father being captured and killed by Stalin's army while traveling home after the war ended, eating grass to survive in a city that was 90% destroyed, and having his country taken over by communist Russia.
3. A husband - I'm so glad I'm not raising Logan alone, and that Topher is my best friend.
4. My mom - She has taught me to be strong, to take care of others, and to take care of myself.
5. The Office - I need to laugh until I cry once a week.
6. Good neighbors - I have the best neighbors.
7. Mangoes - I just ate one. They are so good. Logan likes sucking on the pits. They remind me of living in Fiji.
8. College - I learned a lot more than how to become a teacher. The life lessons I learned were crucial to my success as a wife, mother, and friend. I'm grateful for the people God placed in my path who taught me to be a better person.
9. Sunday - I love going to church, and being home with Topher and Logan. I love turning off the T.V. and radio and having a peaceful day. I love playing games with Topher while Logan takes his morning nap.
10. Spring - No explanation necessary.
