Being healthy. It really is the foundation for everything and when you are not, it disrupts everything.

I would definitely have to say my wife. She inspires me to be a better person and my life has been exponentially better since I have known her. Don’t get me wrong, the relationship has been a LOT of work. But every ounce is worth it. And I would not have had the chance to be with her without my dad teaching me a solid work ethic. That with my patience/persistence/determination has gotten me to so many better spaces. I’ve definitely learned to highly value those good people around.

The knowledge that for as much bad stuff we get up to, humans can accomplish truly mindblowing things. I think about it a lot in the context of science/technology and knowing that much of the tech that I use daily and take for granted is tech that people couldn't even dream of just a couple decades ago. Excited to see what the future has in store on that front.
My spouse, and child, who make my life feel valid, needed, and loved. Thanks to them and their constant encouragement I have a life worth living. 💜
That I have absolutely nothing that seriously worries me.
Of course there's the usual annoyances and minor road bumps in my life. But I have no major family problems (outside of some squabbles, but who doesn't have those?), I'm healthy (enough), I earn enough to get by without having to live from paycheck to paycheck, etc.
When I hear or read about other people's problems, both on large and small scale, it makes me appreciate that my life is just.. boring.
I appreciate it a lot and really hope it will continue this way for both me and my loved ones.
I hope this doesn't sound too selfish. I do feel for those of you who are not as lucky and hope things will get better, whatever your troubles may be.

I appreciate experience itself above all. I been through some bs in my time, and have become fairly jaded in the process, but I have learned to appreciate every feeling I get to experience for what it is. Anything past dead is icing for me. Not everyday, but I try.
You remind me of something a coworker who nearly died of cancer told me: "every day I wake up above ground is a good one."
Guy's been through so much. He's always been a good guy.
The advantages that I've had.
I know that l there will always be challenges and life will never be easy. I also know that it could be so much harder.
Suffering will surely come and there has been suffering that has passed. It creates a bright contrast to what luck I do have.
My health. I am so unbelievably fortunate to have a baseline of good health. Both physical and mental.
