I am truly thankful for all that I am and all that I have.

The having half is the easy half. People can list possessions and circumstances all afternoon. The *all that I am* part is where most of us quietly go silent.

Being thankful for your own character requires liking something about it, and most self-assessment runs the other direction — a standing list of the traits you'd trade in tomorrow.

But you have qualities other people rely on and rarely mention. Someone comes to you specifically rather than to anyone else, and there's a reason for that.

Name the trait that makes them come. You're allowed to be glad you have it.
