Thankful for those around us, and the experiences we have. Thankful.

And I think of these words from Master Dogen;

There is a simple way
To become a buddha:
When you refrain
From unwholesome actions,
… Are not attached
To birth or death,
And are compassionate
Toward all sentient beings;
Respectful to seniors
And kind to juniors;
Not excluding or
Desiring anything,
With no designing
Thoughts or worries,
You will be called a buddha.
Do not seek anything else.

– Dogen (1200 –1253)
