1) My family. Although I'm not super close with my bro and sis, we do still talk and would do anything for each other. I'm glad to be very, very close to both of my parents and I feel very lucky to still have them both.
2) My son. Since the day he was born, nearly 18 years ago, being his dad has been what I love most about my life every single day.
3) My job. I don't love it. Most days I don't even like it. But with the number of people struggling right now in our country, I am grateful to be employed.
4) My friends. I keep a small circle. I'm still in contact with the same 7 guys I was close to in high school and we are always there when one of us is in need. I'm also grateful for the friends I've made right here on TBD, including a few whose families I've met and houses I've stayed in. And others from here who I keep in touch with via text or social media, whom I am lucky to consider friends, too.
5) TBD. Some would say I spend too much time here. I'd tell them to ***** off. I'm here so much because I enjoy it and there are lots of genuinely decent people with whom I enjoy "hanging out," every day.
6) Free Internet porn. Don't judge me. At least I have the balls to admit it!
7) Music. Whether it improves my mood, gets me thinking or gets me moving - it always does something. Good for the soul.
