"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

Today

..marks two months in IBESR. Is that all..feels like more!!!!!!

..due to assembling activities, reminded me how much I dislike putting together dossiers, especially since this is my third in 2 years.

..it snowed. Didn't stay.

..I started a diet. I don't usually do diets, but I am trying this one because my sister lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks, and cheated a little. If I lose my last 10, I'll let you in on it.

..It is getting dark, earlier.. UGH!!!!

..was payday.

..the kids were real rowdy due to the pressure system.

Overall was a good start to the week.
