"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
Ve is getting her school pictures this Thursday. I knew I would not have time during the week so once again I attempted a style that I had hoped would last quite a while and still look good---meaning not fuzzy.
Once I was done styling it..Ve always looks in the mirror. So I asked her what does she think. "Do you like it?"
Ve: "It is fine" (fine seems to be the word both girls are trying out this week.)
Me: "Just fine? You don't like it?"
Ve: looks in the mirror more intently, and then asks.."How do you do it?" with a big smile.
Now I know this is Ve's low key way in telling me that she likes her hair.
Why do I say low key, well because Ve is VERY tender headed, and I am not so sure styling her hair is at ALL a bonding time for us..but we get it done and in the end we both seem satisfied.
