1. My parents (who drove cross country to be at my son's graduation)--and their good health (they're in their 70's)
2. my beagles who love me no matter how I look
3. my sons---even though they keep me worrying constantly
4. the fact that I was here for my son's high school graduation (a goal of mine that kept me going about 5 years ago during the deepest, darkest moment of my life)
5. finally starting my period!!! And the recent false pregnancy test!!!
6. friends on this board that keep me sane
7. my husband's job that allows me to stay at home
8. wonderful health insurance that has given me the opportunity to get well this year
9. my wonderfully sweet and smart physiatrist (not to be confused with my duffus psychiatrist!) who diagnosed my back problem
10. being able to sleep in my bed now (instead of sitting up in a chair)---well, 98 percent of the time!
11. Diet Coke with Lime---sorry, but I can't live without them. It starts with breakfast!
