What Are You Thankful For?

  Posted By:  Amanda Gillen

During this season we would like to take a moment to be thankful for everything that we have. Whether it’s good health, time with family and friends or just being able to watch the sun set, we are reminded to take some time to be grateful.

Here are a few things that we are thankful for:

“I’m thankful for my health, a roof over my head, food to eat and friends and family that I can always count on.” Deb B.


“I’m thankful for a beautiful, happy and healthy family, good friends and a great place to work! I’m also thankful for the sacrifice of others, past and present, that gives us the freedom to do the things we often take for granted.” Keith R.


“I’m thankful for my health, family and the WSW winter swells.” Neil S.


“I’m an thankful for working at groSolar.” Steven M.


“I am thankful for:
Three children who are loving, healthy, and environmentally aware young adults.
Right livelihood that allows me to express my values and have an impact through my daily work.
Living in a place with clean water, fresh air and bears, coyotes and mountain lions as neighbors. ” Jeff H.

“I’m thankful that I have 3 healthy children. A year ago today, my then 12 year old son suffered a grand mal seizure. We rushed him to the emergency room. Initially he was diagnosed with juvenile epilepsy. Over the next week he endured test after test and eventually it was determined that he had a brain tumor. He underwent brain surgery on December 11, 2009. It was uncertain if he would have any way to communicate with the world after the procedure. Thankfully the tumor was completely removed and he suffered no detriments from the procedure. He undergoes MRIs once a year as the tumor has the potential for regrowth, but a year out the MRIs have been clean. In the blink of an eye we learned the greatest lesson in life; it isn’t about what we own, it isn’t about what we do, it is all about the one’s we love and cherishing every day, every moment with those special people in out lives.” Deb R. B.


“I am thankful every day that my three sons are safe and healthy – that they have the conviction and courage to serve their country in the Marine Corps.
I am thankful for all the love in my life, just got married last month!!
I am thankful that my first grandchild is on the way, due in January.
I am thankful to live in Vermont in a house we just finished building, so I am also thankful that it’s finally done!” Joann F.


“I am thankful for the amazing place I live and the sanity that endures in rural Vermont.” Therese L.


“I’m thankful that it’s becoming clear to more and more people that the ‘endless growth’ economic paradigm is not sustainable and that we need a completely new business-model of steady-state re-localization for sustainability in the 21st century. I’m thankful that I am no longer afraid of the economic collapse that is continuing across the US economy. Moreover, I welcome this collapse, as this is the wake-up call our society needs.” Gaelan B.


“I am thankful for all my wonderful family and friends and to be able to work for a company that shares the same morals and work ethics that I hold true. Plus I like my co-workers! I am thankful that more awareness is being brought to some key environmental issues currently facing our earth (energy, transportation, clean water)! But the thing I am most thankful for is our families’ health and to be able to be together for the holidays.” Danielle H-D.


“I am thankful for coffee, energy drinks, the Red Sox, of course my wonderful family and friends… oh AND for the opportunity to be a part of a company making a positive impact on the world, I don’t think there are a lot of people who can say that about their jobs…” Dawn P.


“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust” Thanks to Emily F.
