1. A loving God I can\u2019t hear most of the time.
\n2. A faithful and devoted husband who lets me publish our sex life online<\/a> and allows me to share his dance techniques<\/a> with my Beyond Blue<\/a> readers.
\n3. Two magical children who haven\u2019t peed the bed in a week.
\n4. A mom whose vision is impaired enough to not be able to read my blogs.
\n5. Friends who make me laugh and write letters for me to place in my self-esteem file. That includes you guys, of course.
\n6. Global warming. Was November beautiful or what!? I only had to wear my winter jacket once. (To insure a warm December, I used as many plastic bags as possible to carry home my Thanksgiving groceries.)
\n7. A gratitude list that would be longer than any other blog post in Beyond Blue<\/a> if I mentioned everything that I’m thankful for. (That’s for all of you who think I whine!<\/a>)
\n8. Holly, my brilliant, wonderful, extraordinary editor who saves me from embarrassment by gently advising me to “hold off for awhile” on my posts that make absolutely no sense.
\n9. Larry Parker’s unemployment … I want him to never get a life so that he can always comment on my posts and make me think.
\nWhat’s on your list??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
