write down FIVE SPECIFIC THINGS you are grateful for (and why).

For example, it is not enough to write "I am grateful for my parents". Of course, many people are grateful for their parents. Why are you AT THE MOMENT grateful for them? So, be more specific and explain fully!

I am grateful for my MOM today. I stayed up too late last night playing video games and then slept through my alarm this morning. As a result, I missed my bus and I was afraid that the next bus would not arrive on time in order to get me to campus to write my midterm test. Rather than reading me the riot act, my mom offered to drive me on her way to work, even though it meant she had to leave half an hour earlier than she normally would.

I am grateful for TECHNOLOGY AND HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS. Instead of using a dictionary or having to walk to the library, I can use my phone or laptop for my studying, or to watch movies and play games. My cousin, who lives outside of London, is really struggling with her online classes since they do not have access to a broadband internet connection. I am so glad that I don't have that experience.
