Everything about living in a first world country. Running hot water, 24x7 electricity, centralized heating/cooling, etc. that are affordable only to the super rich in 3rd world countries. Thank you God & our government for these privileges.
Quite a number in developing countries can afford those things. The ones who can't are usually village or ghetto folks who refuse to let there kids finish their schooling or have 10 kids they can't afford - who then do the very same!
Lying in bed listening to the rain on a tin roof
My cat who is always by my side
Having a nice hot shower then jumping into bed
Clean pajamas

BFFs and laughing!
I have teared up more than once each day for years now...why?
Because I realize how blessed I am that my heart is open and I know and
feel the Presence of the Divine so, so often throughout the day and night.
Why, why, why does He reveal Himself to me....I don't know....I am humbly blessed.
Having the soft warmth of my 23 year old cat on my lap....
Having my sister tuck $20 in my purse when i wasn't looking because she knew i was low on groceries until payday....
A wonderful conversation with a group of people while on vacation, who i know i will never see again in this lifetime, but cherish the memory of our brief enjoyable encounter
A cup of Irish Breakfast tea on a cold rainy morning
Grateful:
That I was blessed with two loving parents who cared, nurtured and loved all their children and imparted values and standards to provide a foundation to guide me in life decisions, and with whom I was able to bless them in my adult years and spend significant time with them and let them know how much I appreciated them.
Good health
Lots of pleasant memories with family and siblings and friends throughout the years.
Seeing much of natural beauty and history of the country while traveling and encountering interesting people.
Happy:
Children playing made up games outdoors
Inspiring / soothing music
Modern amenities / convenience
Naturally beautiful women
Neighborhood festivals
Nights outdoor by a fire
Opportunity in this country for all its faults and bad trends
Walks in cold snowy winters, light rainy spring or fall days
Watching airplanes as fireflies align as they return to airport tarmac and wonder where all those people were returning from, whether work or leisure, and who may be waiting for their return
Somewhere I hear Julie Andrews singing... do you hear it?
