3. I had great dreams last night
4. Today looks as if it will be a slightly overcast, cool day
5. Weather permitting, I will go shooting (i.e. video) later
6. I still have some work to do but the bulk of it is finished, so I feel freer to do my own projects after
7. Yesterday I put money in my savings and didn't feel a sense of financial depletion
8. I am alive and well
9. My family, pets and friends are alive and well
10. I feel that despite some "negative" things that seem to be happening around us lately, there are many more positives

Feel free to continue listing (in the comments section).
Put as little or as many as you want (personal or generic).
Number them, following on from where the last person left off (e.g. after my #10, the next "good thing" will be #11 and so on) ... until we have at least 100
