#12The many people who risk/tank their career to speak out about injustice in the world, specifically Gaza in this case but in general.

#13A few months ago I got very sick, I was briefly hospitalized.
I don't want to share all of the details, but somehow that set into motion a chain of events that lead to me doing better than I've ever been. I was struck that I didn't plan for things to turn out this way - and they've turned out better than I have the cleverness to plan for.
I'm trying to do things a little differently. I'm studying zen and taoism and learning that things work better if I don't try so hard to control them.
Life is strange. I'm grateful for to be here, and I'm grateful that it's strange.
Take care, HN.

You can be thankful for stuff without any deity or higher being in your life. If you must have someone to articulate it you can thank to fate, chance, blind luck, other people or your past self to brought you to the things, places, events, persons you are thankful for.
In my experience it's a good exercise to introduce positive thoughts in life. I also like to think about the good things that happened to me on the end of the day - sometimes I need several minutes to bring up a single thing but practice makes wonders.

#17The internet. It connects the world and is an endless source of knowledge. Although it can definitely have negative impacts on people’s lives, it’s overall a benefit to humanity and I’m thankful to be around to see it!

I used to be like you, and I respect your opinion, and while I still do not believe in any higher power, I have come to realise that gratitude — for being born on planet Earth, and in a developed country, and not on Mars, if for no other reason — is powerful and helps me whine less, work more, have a more positive attitude and think about what I can do for others.
