There's an adorable (and very funny) children's book called 'Time Stops for No Mouse' by Michael Hoeye, which has as its protagonist a mouse called Hermux Tantamoq. And at the end of every adventure-filled day, Hermux writes the things for which he is thankful in his little mousey journal. So I tried it myself. And I can tell you that as a thing to do, it provides both comfort and perspective, and has been useful in dark times.
So here (in no particular order) is a list of the things I have been thankful for recently:
Caitlin Moran: How to Be a Woman
Two Door Cinema Club: Something Good Can Work
Andre Kertesz: Washington Square, New York
Maltesers
The Hour
The video that showed me how to tie a 1940s 'do-rag'. Finally!
Alan Bennett
Stephen Fry's brain
Getting a sloppy baby kiss from BabyBF. (Well, I think she was kissing me. She might just have been trying to put my head in her mouth, which is what she does with everything else she encounters. For the sake of argument, let's go with the former.)
My pals
Gardens of Time
Remembering that I had eaten some beetroot, and therefore was not in imminent danger of death. I'll leave you to work that one out for yourselves.

i like your sunny side up attitude. you put pollyanna to shame. i like your idea and have now discovered that two door cinema and the garden people are music, so i thank google. i just don't get maltesers - they are the most disappointing revel. is the hour 'dvd good'?
