As I reach 30 years of age today, let me make a list of things to be grateful for:
1. Foremost is self knowledge guided by scripture. There is nothing more important than this. Self knowledge will not be traded for anything else, neither wealth nor worldly relationship.
2. Health is decent
3. Good family upbringing and a loving family
4. Opportunity to receive knowledge from good universities and to pursue a PhD
5. Reasonably sharp intellect
6. No need to struggle for daily bread.
7. Ability to communicate clearly
8. Love of wisdom
9. Veneration for scriptures and sages
10. Ability to inspire others
11. Ability to concentrate and focus
12. Desire for liberation
13. Self confidence
However, I also realize that I have some areas of improvement, especially in the social domain which may require some addressing. :-)
