"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
Tomorrow is Ve's birthday, but Marly had shared with us a month ago that Haitians celebrate Christmas on the 24th, and last year we had already decided that Christmas eve would be the day that Ve received presents from me and her sisters. She received many of the same type of items as Tuki simply because she can rarely come up with her own ideas of what she wants. This is one area that I hope Ve will grow into. Knowing herself well enough that she knows what she does and doesn't want. Tho similar to Tuki's, she was way overjoyed at her dress-up clothes and play make-up. Happy Birthday Veve!!!
