1. Kitty, my beloved, companion, partner, best-friend-in-the-whole-wide-world-and-beyond, and wife.
2. My body. For all the cosmetic issues I have, it's perfectly functional and utilitarian.
3. A PhD program that teaches me as much as it respects what I've been taught and can teach others.
4. An expanding personal library.
5. The roof over my head, food on my plate, and clothes on my back.
6. In the last three years I've discovered a new level of honesty I can share with myself and my friends. I think I'm more "me" now than I ever have been.
7. A supportive family. I can't share "myself" with them as much as I'd like, but they are a backbone to me in many ways.
8. A spirituality that gives me what I need when I need it.
9. An appreciation for a handful of "fine" things in moderation: single-malt scotch, cigars, and Dungeons & Dragons.
10. A community of friends and family who can forgive me for being an asshole.
