Since as lukeprog writes one of the methods for becoming happier is to "Develop the habit of gratitude" here is a quote of stuff to be thankful for: "

• The taxes I pay because it means that I am employed

• The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat

• My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine

• A lawn that has to be mowed, windows that have to be washed, and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home

• The spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking

• All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have the freedom of speech

• The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear

• The huge pile of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby

• The alarm that goes off in the early morning because it means that I'm alive"
