Following Arran's post about how you can be more happy than someone who has won the lottery, I thought I'd make a thread where people can share the things they are grateful for.
I'll kick us off with an example from my own life that happened just yesterday. I was busy hiking in the typical wet and muddy British countryside. The ground was so soggy and my boots were so covered in mud, I had been dreading going to the pub afterwards as I'd likely bring all that mud into their place of business and cause a huge mess.
For reference, the terrain for the last mile had been at least as muddy, if not more muddy, than what you can see here

However, near the end of the walk, what did nature place in my path? This tiny stream of clean water which let me clean my very dirty boots, which saved me the embarrassment and shame of brining my mud covered boots into the pub.

What is the point in sharing this? The point is you don't have to be grateful for a big major thing in your life, just a small thing which brought you some happiness and satisfaction. Something that made your day a little better. It is much harder to live a sad life if you can appreciate even the small, seemingly insigificant things in your life.

Failure, failure has created a better version of me. I've learned a lot of things that actually changed 36 degree of my mindset. I am grateful for failure, the best teacher for humans.

I am grateful for every God's given day, good or bad.

Damn, that's deep. It's really hard to turn failure into motivation. If you have been able to do that then props to you man.

every freakin thing.
Be grateful for the fact that we can walk, have shelter and food. There are people who are having a hard time getting these basic necessities.
There are no bad days for me. I'm always smiling and grateful. If I'm going through tough times, that's only gonna make me stronger.
