What are you grateful for?

My family and I have been keeping a 'grateful' list where we share 3 things we are grateful for every day with each other. It's been a great reminder of all the awesome stuff going on in our lives when we step back and notice them. Seems like something MMM folks would be interested in doing for a month. It would be cool to see what a larger cross section of people are grateful for on a daily basis.
I made a simple spreadsheet here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlfPBD1NHh35dE0xemhZekdjRU8tMGVtTTQzVFlpcmc&usp=sharing
Just copy a new tab, rename it for yourself and fill in 3 things for which you are grateful for each day this month. I find it helpful to have daily calendar reminders emailed to me that includes the spreadsheet link so I remember to write in it. Looking forward to seeing what other people write each day!

A gentle bump for those who seem to have neglected their list. ;) It's been fun reading what other people have jotted down.

Thanks for the bump, limeandpepper. Adding another gentle reminder bump. I also wanted to say that some unpleasant events occurred last week that I got super stressed over but sitting down to do the exercise and reading what people put for their days really helped me calm down. Instead of getting in a stressful loop of obsessing over the unpleasant things, I thought hard about what I was grateful for, and that reminded me that there's lots of things that are going just peachy in my life. That gave me the space to calm down enough to make a plan to remedy the problems and to let go of (some of) the stress. Reminds me of the MMM article:

Only one day left to fill in for this month. I really enjoyed this challenge, it has been a pleasure really. I might try to keep doing this (here or elsewhere, depending).
