101 Things to Be Thankful for

Life is not perfect and probably never will be. But there are infinite perfect moments. We are always faced with challenges, but it's these challenges that help us grow. We cannot always control how life treats us, but we can definitely decide and control our reactions to it. And in moments of defeat, we can rely on the happiness that comes from things that we mostly take for granted.
