"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
especially when things aren't going well. I actually like saying it better than writing it. I guess we all have our vices.....
Why does this word feel and sound so good today, well .......Ever since I committed to Cheetah on September 23, I was under the impression that a copy of my file was in First Legal for her. Well I found out today that there was a little miscommunication(?) and actually a copy wasn't in First Legal. So now I need to get the second dossier in Haiti ASAP, because Cheetah's file is now several months behind where I thought it was....AGGGGHHHHHH. I have been very quiet, a little down, and very frustrated ALL day because of this news. Cheetah's timetable may have her home maybe sometime spring 2009!!!!!!!!, yes you read that right.
Other than that, nothing new.

That is horrible. That is not right that she has to wait that long when you are so ready to bring her home. That is so sad for all of you. Big Hugs and HOPEFULLy something will happen to shorten that wait.
I love that word too!
sorry about your bad news. ugh.
Let's hope and pray for a better timeline than that...things in Haiti are ALWAYS changing, but it is so hard to wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YUCK!! I hope this changes and she gets home sooner. Crap is a great word, just rude enough to get your point across but not quite bad enough to get you in trouble!
Oh I am so so so sorry, I understand this all too well...
