The shortest answer I can give is: I'm thankful for being able to do things I want to do.

While I can't do everything, I can do many things much of the time. This is mostly related to a stable, safe society (clean water, consistent access to food and energy), secure finances (stable income and savings) and health. None of this is guaranteed, and I'm grateful for having these things.

I also really like my cats. I heard one of them get up early this morning, but by the time my alarm went off she was back laying next to me.
