The Gratitude Challenge

I was looking at youth.lds.org when I came across the challenge thing. So...
"Take a Gratitude Challenge
We always talk about counting our blessings—let’s do it! Write a list of 100 things you are thankful for. 

• Write 10 living people you are grateful for.
• Write 10 people who have died you are grateful for.
• Write 10 physical abilities you are grateful for.
• Write 10 material possessions you are grateful for.
• Write 10 things about nature you are grateful for.
• Write 10 things about today you are grateful for.
• Write 10 places on earth you are grateful for.
• Write 10 modern-day inventions you are 
grateful for.
• Write 10 foods you are grateful for.
• Write 10 things about the gospel you are grateful for.

When we make a list like this, we discover that a list of 100 doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of all the things God has given us."
