A list of some of the things that made me happy this week and which I therefore count as blessings.

1. Barack Obama is our new president elect.
2. John McCain’s acceptance speech. Mostly because it was so gracious and the old McCain was visible.
3. A country that can actually have a peaceful transfer of power.
4. DS1 asking me to make homemade soup for dinner.
5. The smiles on so many people’s faces after the election.
6. Such a huge turnout at the polls, both nationally and in Minnesota (almost 80% across the state!)
7. Letting myself sleep in on Saturday.
8. Having blog writer friends who accept the offer to write a guest post for my vacation! (Amazing! Thank you, thank you thank you!)
9. Happy hour at the Glockenspiel Restuarant with the church staff.
10. Going to the Guthrie Theater with the boys and The Girlfriend.

It is a shorter list than some weeks, but there’s a lot of happy and blessings jammed into each one of those things.
