General:
- Life situations and people that keep presenting me with valuable lessons that I try to learn from
- All my brothers and sisters and my mom and dad are alive and (relatively) healthy
- Family, friends and acquaintances that accept me as is, which is an ever-changing proposition, and their unconditional love
- Friends and family that challenge my way of thinking and being
- Excellent health and fitness
- The ability to still marvel at nature—I saw (after I first heard them) a large flock of migrating sandhill cranes 2 days ago, and yesterday a rough-legged hawk landed in a tree in my back yard.
- My tenacity and desire for continuous learning that was the example set for me as a small child
- A growing ability to be content; yet not complacent
- Humor
- Humility
- Pink things

Sports: - A job that enables me to live the Ironman lifestyle on my terms
- My gym is only .5 miles from home!
- I can find open lap lanes at my pool many hours of the day
- Safe, wide roads to run on and plenty of challenging hills close to home
- A kick-ass 9.5 mile trail to run on that’s a short drive from home
- A rather large lake to swim in with beautiful views of a vibrant city
- A convenient, safe loop of road close to home where I can do my bike intervals in season
- An Ironman course only 2.5 hours from home that provides outstanding training opportunities
- All the fun and outrageous training and racing I’ve done to date
- An awesome triathlon coach who helps me push myself further than I ever dreamed possible
- 2 knees that still work (my dad’s had both replaced)
