1.Sitting back at the end of the day and saying, “Yeah.  I have a lot to be grateful for.”

2.A friend with the patience and courage to hold my hand as I conquered a fear today

3.The way the right kind of guidance makes all the difference

4.Someone I can say all those private, weird things to, without feeling stupid or embarrassed or wrong

5.Being able to find common ground throughout a dizzying array of topics and perspectives

6.When I could be entirely content talking to a person indefinitely

7.Feeling like I had something to offer in return

8.Exhilaration of doing something I was afraid to do for a looong time

9.That feeling that I would do anything for someone to help them out- even if I can’t think of anything much

10.Experiencing a day that reminded me that friends are there to cheer you up and cheer you on
