1. my mother, the most wonderful woman I know.
2. breaks from school that give me time to be with my family I love!
3. colors that make the world bright.
4. uncontrollable laughter, because you can’t be anyone but yourself when you’re laughing.
5. onions and cheese, because they make my favorite Thanksgiving dish.
6. touch, to communicate care and love and trust.
7. traditions, because of the anticipation and excitement that builds in me waiting for them to happen!
8. relationships, because they stretch me and make me grow.
9. real friends who tell you the things you need to hear even though they don't want to say them.. simply because they want the best for you.
And most of all, 10. God, because He’s my reason for living, and because in everything I owe Him praise!

To Kelsey: a couple of lines by one of my very favorite poets, Lord Alfred Tennyson, from his Ulysses.
"I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life
Were all too little..."
