"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

Confusion

I have been quiet lately because there is some sort of confusion with Mim's file. Apparently the money order from Feb/March wasn't cashed, M claimed her bank wouldn't cash it, yet in checking with my bank the money order was still sitting there un-cashed..All so confusing to me. So I stopped payment on the money order and today I wired M the money she has stated she needs. I don't know why it took from Feb to now for me to find out about this problem... I am not sure where the fault lies, and at this point I really don't care, I just want Mim to come home and then allow this adoption process chapter in our lives to be over.

I have also been working on some really tough issues with Ve. Luckily I am seeing improvement, but some days I feel like burying my head in the sand or a HUGE glass of wine. Again I am thankful that I have time off so my energies can really hone in on Ve and help her through past habits.

Tuks is still a typical 3 year old, but with each passing day, I see sneak peaks of her maturity and sweetness shining through.

We are doing well, just wish this confusion was cleared up that is hard to correct and understand over email and different languages. I am calling M tonight again to make sure she has seen that I had wired the money.

If I don't post before the 4th, I wish everyone a great celebration of our living in a free country.
