Thankful 2015: A very incomplete MH list

 

for people who fight to improve our world, to conserve and protect nature, and to serve those in need

 

for people who strive for better (rather than more)

 

for each day I have the opportunity and the health to ride a bike and leave the car behind

 

for every great blue heron, horny toad, and possum that (safely) crosses my path

 

for people who rescue strays and strays who rescue people

 

for a season of learning to garden

 

for pipelines not built

 

for the freedom and opportunity to write this blog

 

for each and every person who takes time to read this blog

 

for those who invest in and develop clean energy

 

for those who acknowledge man-made climate change and work to slow it

 

for everyone who reduces consumption, who recycles, who repurposes

 

for family, friends, and my amazing wife who tolerate my MH nagging

 

for people who believe differently but seek common ground

 

for my Savior who sustains me

 

May your thanks list completely overwhelm your adversity list. Thank you, friends!
