"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
Taken this past weekend
Taken last year around the same time on the airplane coming home.
We talked a lot today about her coming home a year ago. We have trudged thru many issues with Ve, yet we have skipped and ran thru much more. She has come so far and I know with each passing year, and maturity her confident and trust level will catch up with her ability to feel great love and compassion.
We are happy she is our girl and wouldn't change a thing about her, yet I will continue to help her smooth off some of the edges. I guess that is what parenting is all about. LOL
