Definitions

I've been reading a book that delves into our Jewish roots, giving a full and richer perspective for my faith in Jesus. I'm not necessarily looking to write about all of that today but a comment in the book struck me that I'd like to ponder a little more personally. It talked about the various feasts the Jews celebrate throughout the year which remind and define who they are as a people.
I agree that each people group does have a certain "definition." However, I wondered what defines me as a person. I hope that gratitude and faith are two qualifiers. With some certainty, I would add humor and an easy going nature. Of course I have my trigger points, as well. Injustice is one of them. I think this is true of a lot of Americans but it can get twisted, too! (Hence, the large number of lawsuits!) Have me drive a car and I'm not quite as laid back as I might seem in other circumstances!!! :-)
Bottom line I hope I'm a safe person for others. Any other thoughts from those of you - "out there"?
