"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

My pumpkins last dance on Wednesday night

Tonight was the last night of her gymnastics class. She will be starting another session next Saturday. I switched her to a older class that runs for 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes. I had to get the OK again because the class is for 3 - 4 year olds and she won't turn 3 until midway through the session. I think she will be just fine.

She is also pooping on the potty at home, but no go at Angie's school yet. Not sure of the problem, but I can tell Angie is getting exasperated with Tuks holding out on the poopy.

Photo's are from tonight. Lighting was poor. Parents were able to photo and participate with the kids tonight, and it was cute because Tuks was SOOO excited I was in the class with her
