1. My family, especially how supportive Jill has been since Noah was born.
  2. Noah is growing into a healthy, thriving little boy.
  3. Jill was able to adopt Noah, so she is his parent under the law as well as in fact.
  4. My pregnancy, birth, and nursing experience were relatively easy and had no out-of-the-normal-range complications.
  5. The first national election I didn’t find depressing since 1994, especially the part where Arizona rejected an anti-gay ballot initiative.
  6. My job is interesting, and I work with great people.
  7. My home is a comfortable place, and I have no serious unmet physical needs.
  8. I am making a difference.
  9. I have wonderful friends (although I wish we lived close to more of them).
  10. The connection and reconnection to people that has taken place because of blogging and this crazy creation, the Internet, which I have been intrigued by since I first encountered it in 1987.
