"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

Snow Shoeing at Galecke

We had a wonderful and busy Saturday. In the morning we went to the Y. I ran 3 miles and the girls played in their respective areas. We then came home, had lunch, and then prepared for Kiki to arrive so that we could all go snow shoeing in the afternoon. The girls did fairly well. Tuks became tired towards the end, Ve fell a few times and had the wrong type of socks on, so one of her boots had snow in it, and lastly Mim was exhausted, but trudged through til the end. Again a first time for her. The dogs, Kiki and I liked it too.

Then at night we had hot cocoa, pizza, Kiki read the girls some books and then later watched the movie Ratatouille. Good day all around.


Tuks amd Ve checking out the frozen river.

Kiki looking like he is being pulled on skies by the three amigos....

Still running
and Mim wins

Exhausted

The fallout is Tuks was left behind, but Kiki and Watson went to get her, while I fixed my snow shoe....
