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. I have many days where I just feel "off" and reflecting on what I am doing helps.
 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 Oak," 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:

Ten Things I (meaning you, not me) Know to Be True.  (yes, this is a pre-write of sorts for your THIS I BELIEVE essay)
