1. Having someone incredibly loving who will wake up in the night and comfort me after I've had nightmares.
2. An online (and in person) homeschooling community that makes it so easy to homeschool. 20 years ago, I would have had to go it alone.
3. The Lord of the Rings. It makes my heart physically expand in my body when the characters do something noble. I'm so happy Tolkein wrote it.
4. My composition pedagogy class, taught by a professor I really respect.
5. Having a best friend with whom I have never run out of things to talk about. Not even once in more than 7 years.
6. 70s and 80s music played all night at a wedding, with only a song or two from other eras.
7. Dessicated thyroid and iodine.
8. My 7 year old, who watches Gilmore Girls with me and then falls asleep cuddled up beside me in my bed.
9. The chance, granted by Aaron, to go back to school and be home with Livy when she is with us. It's amazing to get to do the two things I most want at the same time.
10. The song "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas.
