"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
in the house
argue, argue, argue,
"It isn't fair"
"You don't know"
"I want to wear this" (too small & too tight)
"So & so has this, so I need this"
"You don't like me"

I so sympathise, I have a 13 Y O at home too, I thought boys were easy... boy was I wrong.
Oh no I have one turning 7 that is like this already - please don't tell me I have another 10 years of this. :)
It will get better once they live on their own & have children - until then expect more of the same. My oldest are 24 & 22 & I still experience this somewhat.
Oh boy not looking forward to the teen years again just got past them with the older crew.
