There are so many beautiful things to be grateful for not just this week, but every week. Can't think of anything or just having a hard time coming up with authentic and true answers to the question, "What are you thankful for?" No need to worry, there are plenty of ways to count your daily blessings.
The best way I can recommend would be making a mental or physical list before you go to bed of 1-5 things you were thankful for that day. I started doing this last year and must say it's a pretty good habit that I have acquired. These lists range from moments to feelings to items to my favorite foods. There's no right or wrong thing to be thankful for because it's the ordinary things in life that make it extraordinary.
Take advantage of the holiday season by spending some time to write your own list. This might help you find some inspiration:
