Count Thy Blessings

In a conscious effort to get over an idle/evil hiatus, I have decided to write down the 50 things I am grateful for in life
When its 50 you really need to dig deep to get there, so there are quite a few, which might be, too obvious.
But the obvious things we take for granted are the exact ones, we need to be grateful for ( I guess.)
