A-Z Gratitude list, what is yours?

Options
I realized I can't be hateful and grateful at he same time. Anger is a trigger to eat so I do a list of what I am grateful for, from A to Z. When I am really having a bad day I try to come up with more then one thing at each letter. I would love to see some gratitude list, help me and give me ideas:wink:

A=apples, B=baths, C=compassion, D=dogs, E=exercise, F=friends, G=God, H=Heather(sister-in-law), I = Ink, J= James (brother) K= k-9 police, L= Labradors, M= Mom, N= nature, O= Oranges, P=Pete(Big Brother), Q= quiet time, R= rainbows, S= sugar, T= trains, U= Unicycle riders, V= violets, W= Wilderness, X= X-rays, Y= yumminess, Z= zoos

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Thank You:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
