What is a thing? Here is my definition:
A thing is a physical object, event, thought, attribute or transcendental entity
I believe that 'thing' is one of the most expansive concepts. If you look around your room, you will see nothing but things. Everything that has physical matter is a thing. Also every attribute is a thing regardless of how abstract it is. I also consider mental objects as things. For example, if you imagine eating ice cream, the imagination in your head is a thing even though it's not a physical object.
