good health insurance
good jobs
generally good health in the family

the best possible outcome in a particular family matter

our nephew staying with us

the president's re-election -- which ranks slightly above
the passage of question six in Maryland (affirming gay marriage)

and on the silly side:

Mike Trout, AL Rookie of the Year
Bryce Harper, NL Rookie of the Year
Davey Johnson, NL Manager of the Year

Mitt Romney isn't president elect

Married to a good honest man whom I love

Good friends

A roof over my head, food in the fridge and clothes on my back

Good health and affordable medical care

Outside of the mortgage, no debts

Have a bit of land I can garden

Enough money to be comfortable

Interests and activities to keep me busy

Live in a beautiful part of the country

I'm a very fortunate old broad

Did I mention, Romney wasn't elected

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
