Love the list! Thank you for posting it. I've been thinking a lot about gratitude lately—it's a popular month for it. One thing I've noticed is that gratitude and happiness are not always conjoined at the hip. I am very grateful to have been at my mom's bedside when she died in the spring. I'm not happy about it though. I think gratitude is a more lasting emotion than happiness. Don't get me wrong, I'm a happy and optimistic person, but I think gratitude has a certain depth and richness that happiness doesn't necessarily have. I'd be happy and grateful to know your thoughts and those of your readers.
