1. I can see (there is so much beauty, I feel as though it sustains me almost like food does).
2. I can walk (oh my goodness, I love being able to move and walk and go places so freely with my body!
3. I can work (I love most all of the things I get to do, on my farm and with other people).
4. I got to be a mother (this is a hard one as I do not feel so competent at this one, but there is an endless learning curve! and I love learning).
5. I have no food allergies - wow, I am about the only person that I know who can eat freely, without worry, although I do worry as I scrupulously avoid things made with of gmo's orr animal products from animals fed any gmo's.
6. In my youth I traveled a lot (and for this reason I have no desire to go anywhere, and thoroughly enjoy being right here).
7. I LOVE the internet, and having access to it in my rural area. What a difference this has made. I used to have to travel great distances to libraries to find information. I used to be far away from bookstores, now the books come in the mail and I get to browse online...oh my goodness what a difference the internet has made to rural people!
8. I can teach younger people things that I got to learn once, or figured out on my own. This is fabulous as I get to see the excitement in their eyes and now I get to consider how I might have effected my teachers in their lives. Very wonderful, actually.
9. I am surrounded by so many animals to love and care for, some like the dogs return the affection, others like the sheep could care less, but that is OK
10. I think that when I die some of the things that I have worked on will live on, and I hope that they will enrich other people's lives, this gives me a great feeling.
