"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
I was brushing Heathcliff and Einstein tonight and Tuki decided she needed to help me. So she picks up a dog comb and then tells the dogs "nice" and proceeds to brush them. I tell her to be nice all the time to the animals so I'm not sure if she was telling herself to be nice or telling the dogs to be nice while she combed them. She is growing in leaps and bounds with her activities, language, sentences and understanding. I have myself a little shadow, a "minnie me" around and I love every minute of it. Did I ever tell you what an amazing kid she is, because wow, she sure astounds me everyday......
