Ask HN: What are you thankful for?

Before I go to sleep, I run through what I did the whole day and be thankful for everything. That I'm alive, that I had a hot shower, that I have a heater, I have to eat. This also help me remember what I did the whole day and evaluate everything in a positive manner. The whole thing take me like 5min and it changed my life since I started doing it. It doesn't matter whether you believe in god or not, being thankful will make a difference in your life. Try it :)

I am thankful to the people who make the free software that I enjoy using. Off the top of my head: NetBSD, Firefox, Mame, Vim, FLAC, Lame, MPD, Scrot/FEH, Ratpoison, and Scrypt.

For me it's my family, a good job, and to be alive in an exciting golden age of technology.

Nice friends from my hometown! I've been working abroad the past eight months, and they've been loving enough to keep in touch with me every once in a while.

Of course my family, my health, and I am still alive :)

Automated testing :)

microprocessors, the C programming language, the government for giving me money to go to college where I otherwise wouldn't have been able to go.

For having the chance to keep on trying.

Unit tests so I can sleep at night.
