I was inspired by Neil Pasricha's excellent blog 1000 Awesome Things (1000awesomethings.com), but decided that a moment of gratitude a day would suffice for now. After all, the best way to be happier is to be more grateful for what you already have.

#22 Teaching
Despite many gripes, being a teacher is the best thing I can ask for. There is nothing like being responsible for the learning of children when they are still at the malleable age, when they're still shorter than you. Being with children is one of the few times I can be silly and not so self-conscious. Children really do bring out extremes in you. In any case, I can see it as training for fatherhood. At least with fatherhood, no one's gonna ask you how you've value-added to your child, and whether you can complete the milk-drinking syllabus on time. Now excuse me while I collect some forms...
