10... A cool day in June! (I hate the heat.)

11... Good health. (Last summer it was believed that I might have breast cancer....biopsies, mammograms, and consults were the words of the summer of 2005.)

12... A home cooked dinner I didn't have to prepare. (Roasted chicken, freshly baked bread, and a salad of mixed greens, spiced pecans, dried cranberries, feta cheese and balsamic vinaigrette.)

13... A God who still forgives me, accepts me, and adores me beyond my wildest dreams.

Does life get any better than this?
