Count your blessings, name them one by one.

It seems that "counting your blessings" is a major theme in preventing burnout. 

Many of the good things in my life are as follows:

• http://www.foundmagazine.com
• inspirational friends.
• inspirational friends with blogs.
• reading a REALLY good article in an academic journal.
• that "in the zone" moment when I finally GET what I'm writing about.
• when that zone comes prior to the day the paper is due.
• those quiet moments when I'm not obsessed with my future career, or past shortcomings.
• when you can find something GOOD that government officials are doing (*cough* SB 462 *cough*)
• not procrastinating (if/when that happens)

Ok, back to my policy paper.
