Green Oasis

Today, I am thankful for…

1. … having a good woman as my partner.
2. … music and art. My life is infinitely richer because of them.
3. … the time I’ve had recently with my daughters. I’ve been trying to focus more on the truly important things in life, and it has paid off with immediate returns.
4. … homemade yogurt. It’s eerily simple to make. I feel like I’ve learned a secret art.
5. … the philosophy of fire and motion.

Today, I am grateful for…

1. … the end of a semester that frees me to study what I choose at my own pace.
2. … healthy children.
3. … the mother of my children.
4. … my mother.
5. … my new-found positive outlook.

Today, I am grateful for…

1. … clean, wholesome food.
2. … that I study better than I used to.
3. … human companionship.
4. … to have the chance to exist.
5. … to know what I do about human origins. The story fascinates me.

I am grateful for…

1. … the chance that I’ve had to get to know my wife.
2. … the renewed knowledge that sleep is important. I haven’t made sleep a priority this weekend, and it shows. I’m grateful that I’m aware enough of that to take correction.
3. … the chance that I have every day to take walks while at work.
4. … the relationship that I have with my daughters so far. May I continue to nurture it.
5. … my ability to learn new things.

I am grateful…

1. … to be alive and healthy.
2. … to have a best friend.
3. … for the generosity of strangers who donate their time for free culture projects. I use so many free tools every day (e.g. I manage this blog with free software), I won’t attempt to list them.
4. … for museums and libraries and other local institutions that bring the best of culture to us.
5. … to have clean food and water.
