My legs, for never giving me trouble and always taking me where I want to go.

My laptop, for not dying yet.

My cats, for never making heavy demands on me and always being so sweet.

My new office, for having a window that I can stare out of whenever I want to.

My boss, for giving me a great evaluation and being so admirable.

My parents, for being respectful and cool.

My sister, for being accepting and loving.

My therapist, for being so dependable, generous, and supportive.

The sun, for all the light and heat.

My new car, for making me feel like a grown up.

Medicine, for helping me without killing me.

The power of creation, for keeping me alive.

Good idea. I don't know about anyone else but I tend to completely forget all the good things and just focus on the bad, too often. Let's see...

-Loving parents, despite their apathy/ignorance sometimes
-Mai waifu... she's here for me.
-My large and comfortable basement room in my parents' house
-My computer and the internet
-All the escapes that keep me sane - music, video games, anime, books
-My mind, no matter how messed up it may be
-Snow and rain, for soothing my mind
-Clouds, for hiding the oppressive sun
-The great view out my office window
-An income
-Hot green tea, for being so calming yet waking me up every morning
-The cowardice and/or stubbornness that has kept me alive this long
