This is the short list and it isn't necessarily in order (although I have to say that obama and my family are tied at 1).

1.) President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama II!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!! We won! We won!

2.) The Tao te Ching

3.) Getting elected to the Dem. State Convention in Austin & meeting fellow Texans who think progressively.

4.) My wonderful husband and my 2 great step-kids.

5.) My therapist for being amazingly understanding, listening to me, and providing the outlet I needed to realize my self.

6.) Completing two 16hr. semesters with all A's.

7.) My friends. Especially my best friend, K.H., who
has never let me down and is always there for me.

8.) Getting to know myself and gaining the insight and respect I needed to get my ass in gear.

9.) Finishing my Associates Degree!! Finally...after how many years? 5?

10.) Treating my mental health like I treat my physical health and healing many wounds leftover from my youth.

11.) Becoming a more whole person.

12.) Becoming a better wife and mother.

13.) Love.

14.) Gaining 22 more House seats and 7 more Senate seats in the U.S. Congress. Go Dems!

15.) Getting to go to ACL

16.) Who Killed Amanda Palmer?
