1. My mom, who is such a good friend of mine and whom I look up to a great deal
2. My friends, whom the Lord has provided to me at just the right times
3. My church. I just came from the last night of our church's VBS, and as I drove home I was really rejoicing at the way our church pitches in and works together. It really is exciting to serve the Lord with these excellent people! What a joy to see God work.
4. A wonderful cup of tea! I enjoy this at least once every day. I like black tea (usually just drink plain Lipton's, but recently I have also been drinking Twinings Irish Breakfast and English breakfast) with 1 tsp. of sugar and some skim milk. Just last week, I discovered how much better my tea is with distilled water instead of tap!5. Food. I just love food.
6. Hugging a child
7. I love where I live. There is a pond next to my house, and I could just stand next to my dining room window and watch the ducks all day! :) They are so cute.(this is a picture of "our" ducks)
8. It is satisfying when I have thoroughly straightened my hair! :) And that straightness lasts . . . a couple of minutes, until I walk outside. :)
9. Is it necessary for me to say that I find a good book satisfying? (well, maybe satisfying isn't the right word, since it leaves me wanting more until I finish the book, and then I'm sad that it is over!)
10. It is really satisfying to see one of my students work hard and then succeed in my class. Sometimes I think I get more excited than the student does!
11. Sitting in a freshly-cleaned room
12. Seeing a child who is well behaved. Someday I hope to have the satisfaction of having one of my own!
13. Sleeping after a day of working hard
14. Having time off (albeit temporarily) to be a keeper at home
15. Learning from godly ladies who encourage me to grow in the Lord
16. It is satisfying to praise and thank the Lord for all of the joys He blesses me with!!! :-D

We really should count our blessings more often, shouldn't we?
Yes. It is good to be reminded!
You listed SOOO many wonderful things!!! My favorite? "Food. I just love food." HAHA!! I am in complete agreement with you!

Mmm, I love food! :) Eating it, cooking it, looking at pictures of it, smelling it . . . I wonder what we have in the pantry. I think I'll go look! :)
