    I work in the office of a Jewish synagogue and I’ve never had so many people thank me for what I do in any other job or situation. It feels good. So I am thankful for both my job and the wonderful people with whom I come into contact there.

    You made me think of how thankful I am to have two very close friends, both from childhood. We don’t live close to each other any more but I’m also thankful for the new forms of communication we now have to keep in touch!
