I was at a Thanksgiving lunch at a local shul today, and we were asked to name something we are thankful for.
Of course, I am thankful for all the things most Americans of my age and social class are (e.g. good health, not living in the Third World, family, etc.).
But I am also thankful for a few more me-specific things, including but by no means limited to:
1. That I can afford to live two blocks from work;
2. That my apartment hasn't had any roaches (at least not yet);
3. That I can live in a neighborhood with a vibrant Jewish life and STILL live two blocks from work;
4. That I like my job.
