I thought that was a good question but now I see that I don't want to answer it. Lemme think -

My living relatives are alive and sometimes communicating.
Only one more month of winter :roll:
Trees, I love trees.
Singing along with Paul Anka and Luciano Pavarotti (separately!)
Comedy - sit-com or stand-up. Rodney Dangerfield, for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCVR_ajL_Eo
A really good book that takes me to another field of consciousness.
Water!
Pizza, pasta, caramel ice cream (separately).

Your turn!

My doctor expected my tongue cancer to kill me.

Life fascinates me. I enjoy being part of the culture of life. God created life.

I think I feel something of the same but I should remember it more often. As a child I used to thank God for whatever life I passed as I walked along - certain trees in particular, and rain.

I’m grateful to be alive because being grateful in itself helps me to stay alive.

Expressing gratitude, itself, is actually good for you.

I have a girlfriend I'm living with instead of still being VERY lonely single & living with my parents or got kicked out of my parents & living on the street.

Were I not alive, I would be unable to be grateful. I am, and hence I am not.
