10 Things

Every once in a while, I like to "take stock" of who I am, and whether or not my actions and ambitions are remaining true to whoever that is.  Lots of times, not so much.  And when this happens, in order to get myself  back on track, I make a list.  The "lists" always have a title--"10 things I've always wanted to do but couldn't afford," or "10 things I love about NJ," etc.
It helps.  Every time, it always helps.
So, in the spirit of that, let's give it a try.

Your 10 things category is:
