First and foremost, my wife, a wonderful blend of idealism, practicality, hard nosed realism, generous compassion, intelligence, and more creativity and people skills than I could ever think of having. With her, she brought unbounded confidence in me and my abilities, and at a time when I was doubting myself, she never did.

She also brought more blessings with her, in the form of kitties, which I had always admired, but never had a chance to live with. Their unconditional love, playful antics, generous caring and all around wonderfullness is something I will always be grateful for.

I am also thankful to be blessed with scientific and technical skills that have made a decent living for us. For the longest time, I thought I had no talent, because I wasn't creative in the traditional artistic sense.

We have a good home, more than enough to eat and enjoy, lots of emergency supplies (comes with living with a retired paramedic!), and time and resources to give to our shared causes and to enjoy in our new home.
