"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

Observations

We are back to the grind stone, busy, tired and yet seem to be functioning smoothly. Ve's O (I call them this) behaviors have all but gone dormant. Her change for the positive makes me more aware of the time off of school as to the cause of her insecurity that brings out her old behaviors.

Tuki has been working hard at not being crabby and naughty because she is tired. The fact that she is cognitive of this negative behavior and attempting to control it herself is a huge step. She also is enjoying being her friends, yet is struggling with missing me.

Mim is happier back at school as well since she is able to spend time with her friends and less couped up time with me and her sisters. A true teenager!

Considering all these behaviors that I noticed in my girls, I will have to really think thru our summer plans, no more cocooning with just us. My girls need more.

We're experiencing the same. As a result, I have a very busy summer planned.
