i could go on and on and like i said, once i start, it's hard for me to stop. and alot of these are very broad (hence the pages possible of expandation). i challenge you to make a list. whatever comes to mind first, write it down. they can be frivolous like kleenex, or serious like Jesus and love. and really, we should be thankful for everything, even the stuff we hate.
