"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
Tuks is tantruming bad again this week. If she doesn't get what she wants when she wants it, she falls into a full blown tantrum. I thought we were done with this stage, but now it is back with a vengeance. PLUS, Ve is mimicking Tuks. Partly, I think she is just testing me more to see what I will do, and partly because she thinks this is the normal way to act...she even talks sassy like Tuks does in her 3 year old sassiness. I have had to put my foot down quite a bit in the last few days. Meaning I am not the most popular Mama on the block. Our night time routines have gone awry because of Tuks crying due to something or another and then Ve following suit....Makes for not pleasant evenings...

Oh dear. Sometimes being the mama is just hard...but this too shall pass! And then you'll be on to something different...:)
