2. my fiancee's health after her gall bladder removal
3. The West Wing
4. John Adams by David McCullough
5. card games
6. my iPod Touch
7. a convenient teaching schedule
8. people who care for the world's orphans
   
9. many foreign friends in my city to have fun with, to serve with, and to offer encouragement
10. new local friendships
