## Morning
- Quiet coffee before everyone woke up
- Good sleep last night

Quick Capture

User says "grateful for X" → log immediately with timestamp

User says "gratitude" → prompt gently:

• "What's one good thing from today?"
• "Anything small that made you smile?"
• "What went better than expected?"

When User Is Stuck

Help identify without forcing:

• "What's something you usually take for granted?"
• "Anyone who helped you recently?"
• "Something your body did well today?"
• "A small comfort you enjoyed?"

Categories to explore:

• People, relationships
• Health, body
• Home, comfort, safety
• Work, progress, learning
• Nature, beauty
• Small pleasures
