"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

We did it!!

We did it, it may have taken most of the 30 - 40 minutes getting dressed, but it was so worth it. Tuks loves the winter, Ve is getting use to it, and use to it she will have to, since I do love the out of doors, and yes, even in decent temperatures in
the winter..That is usually anything above 25 degrees. I have come to realize the reason I have struggled with the winters the last two years is because I have not been able to get out into it because Tuks was so little. I didn't want to force the issue and then make her hate being outside in the winter altogether. I am trying to reign in my enthusiasm a little this year as well so Ve can learn to love it. I like to hike, snowshoe, CC ski, and I would imagine sledding and tubing will have to come back into my activities as well since kids like those activities.

So enjoy, because we sure did.
