1. cool mornings with a mountain view from the balcony, my kindle and a cup of cafe.
3. skype, facetime, google chat, facebook... and all other forms of technology that make it possible for me to love friends and family in all parts of the world. just today I have connected with people in Nigeria, Bolivia, North Carolina, and Chicago. what a blessing.
4. delicious, fresh produce that I buy from my veggie guy at the market. yes, I have a veggie guy.
5. the amazing people we work with who are way more than just coworkers; they are incredibly dear friends.
6. our subscription to NHL gamecenter live so that we can occasionally watch our beloved Chicago Blackhawks all the way from the Caribbean.
7. our spacious front porch (that also doubles as our dining room and triples as my office) where we play games and host friends for dinner and cook on our giant grill.
8. the mountains that preside majestically over our town that remind me of God's beauty every single day.
9. afternoon thunderstorms that cool off Jarabacoa, making it almost feel like a chilly fall night.
10. my trusty green Toyota Rav4 that gets me places safely, even though it likes to drink up the gas that is over $6.50/gallon.
11. barbecue chicken pizza delivered to our front door on a motorcycle in 20 minutes.
12. my sweet, sweet husband who loves me so well and is just so much fun to be around.
13. for the awesome YL staff, volunteer leaders and kids who make my job so, so enjoyable.
14. for the women in my Wednesday night Bible study and our honest conversations.
15. for my every day needs that are met: clean water to drink, food to eat, a roof over my head, and love of friends and family and God.
