…in scary times:

1. the health of my family
2. that I love my husband so much, and am in love with him too
3. my middle daughter, who works so hard and is so empathetic and charming
4. my youngest daughter, who is magnetic and adorable and a joy
5. my son, who–although he’s a teen with serious motivation issues–remains sweet and quirky, handsome and hilarious
6. my comfortable, eclectic house, with its bright orange, yellow, turquoise and red rooms and its big windows
7. my work, which fills me with joy each day
8. my friends, both close and far away, with whom I can be myself
9. my co-author, who is dedicated and talented and driven
10. my agent, who I trust and respect, and is a fantastic businesswoman
11. that my husband has a job and is good at it
12. that my parents are healthy and independent
13. that my brother found an incredible woman with whom to share his life
14. fuji apples
15. vodka
16. cotton sheets
17. movies
18. travel (not as much as I’d like, but still…)
19. The New York Times
20. Editors who love good books
