"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us."

-- Albert Schweitzer; "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." --Oprah Winfrey

1) Family and Friends: I am lucky to have family and friends that I can go to for advice, as a sounding board, or any other type of help.

2) God: These two songs sum it up well. Won't Let Me Go by Addison Road: "That even when my heart breaks/And everything's shake/I'm left alone in the rain/You won't, you won't, won't/You won't let me go/When life's insane/And everything's crazy/You carry me through the pain/And you won't, you won't, won't/You won't let me go". My Story by Addison Road: "If this is my story, if this is my song/Then I want to be a part of something beautiful/If this is my journey, then show me your road/Wherever you lead me in this world I want to go".

3) My Pets: They are always making me laugh and their giving is unconditional.

"We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment." --George Eliot

4) In General: Freedom, Living in a era with so much great technology, having a creative mind (writing, crafts, etc.), sports (e.g. softball), nature (It's beauty is astounding!), having a place to live, health, and much more!
