1) A great family that mostly isn’t annoying. (I have an 11 yo and 13 yo… so “mostly” is doing pretty darn good.
2) A paid off mortgage.
3) Rental income.
4) Free books from the library.
5) cheap college classes through the community college to challenge myself.
6) kids that seem to be focusing on academics.
7) the BEST dog in the world, courtesy of the San Diego County shelter. (Seriously, we scored big in the doggy adoption lottery.)
8) grateful to be living in a place that I can take the dog for a walk on the beach most mornings. (The dog loves it too – the beach is “doggy disneyland” with all the smells, other dogs, birds to try and chase.)
