Some of the 100 Things I'm Thankful For

Feeling grateful is one of the main ways to boost happiness, according to the experts. My fifth-grade teacher Miss Watanabe seemed to know this before anyone else: for extra credit, she had us turn in a list of the 100 things we're most thankful for.

1. The free Kindle app for iPhone
2. Ben Franklin's 13 Virtues
