OK, here goes:1. Living in the UK for 7 years and feeling like it was home.
2. Going on a research boat for humpback whales and stopping for lunch in the middle of their feeding grounds. We cut the engine in the lobster boat, ate our sandwiches, and listen to the sounds of the blow-holes every few seconds from all around us.
3. Learning belly dancing well enough to have been on the 5 o'clock news. OK, this was a long time ago.
4. Finally having bunion surgery on both feet so I didn't hobble any more.
5. Being there to catch my niece when she was being born (at home), and being of help, which I didn't think I'd be able to do.
6. Going for professional help for my depression, anxiety and panic attacks after 7 years of suffering and inept nurse practioners.
7. Staying in a villa in Umbria, Italy, for a vacation. Even if we did have to share it with other couples.
8. Bouncing back after every job loss so far, whether I've been fired or ran away.
9. Divorcing my first husband after 18 years of some pretty bad times, and
10. Confronting my mom about her motherliness, or lack of.
