Your first task is to start living... the thanks will follow naturally.

Thank Him for:
your finding GYE
your ability to register, type, spell, and comprehend
your ability to choose a user name
your ability to ask questions

ok

thank him for being lonely (imagine if u were dead thats worse than lonely)

thank him for being a boy (shelo assani isha, a man has more responsibility in torah and mitzvos)

I was dead last week.

You just reminded me. I once went with my family on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur to help out a minyan. Non frum people wanted a minyan and they provided a place for my family to stay. Anyways. Some of the gus were reading the sddur and started talking about it. They went out to the girls by the break and started telling them, you know we have more commadments to do. We thank god not for making us women and you just say thay for creating me according to your will. They looked at me and said you probably new this, and I blushed becuase I didn't know it was my first time hearing it.

really

a man is much more complicated

he has more responsibility because without it he will not have a moral anchor

the woman is exactly to Hashems will

Teeth?
A tongue?

Fingers?

Thanks for the well wishes.  I feel like I got some sort of semicha (and I didn't even have to take a test).  Hopefully, I will live up to the expectations of the powers to be.  Thank You Hashem for this wonderful place.

Thank you hashem for ur-a-jew!

How would you know? How would you know the source of my pain? How would you know what is going on with me?

Yes, it is all true.
