"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

A Day to Remember


Tuki decked out in our school colors.........

Friday night was jam packed with parties. First, there was a party at two of the runner's (sisters) parent's house. Tuks and I stayed for a about 1 1/2 hours and then on to my BIL birthday party. We stayed there for several hours because Tuki and cousin N played, and played and played....We arrived home around 9;30pm, 3+ hours past Tuki's bedtime. She crashed as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Then today was our state CC meet. We arrived at the head coach's house to eat pancakes, then came home, prepared Tuks travel bag, relayed Tuki care info to E, then off to the meet in the team bus. The girl's raced, we placed 19th, E, neighbor A, and Tuki show up AFTER the race(in order to allow E his dignity, I won't get into the details as to why they were late, HI E!!!), then we hang out at the meet until after our school's boy's team races. I come home with Tuk's and her guys and we have pizza for supper. Tuki didn't have a nap all day, and so she really fought the bed at night..overly tired, but she was amazingly adaptable and happy all day.

Even though we did, well not so good at state, it was really a pleasant day, and once again I appreciated E's and A's help in getting Tuks to a meet to enjoy the runners and beautiful weather. Tomorrow afternoon we will go trick or treating, so I will post more photos to capture the moooooooooment, whooooooment, boooooment!!!!!!!!!!!!!
