"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
years to the date that I began this blog. Last year I stated that I have rejected the pressure of Facebook, so this year I must confess that I have caved to creating an account, BUT I have no idea as to how to use the darn thing. I have always thought I am a little tech savvy, especially for my age bracket, but I have been stumped by Facebook. I love my blog because it has recorded the lives of my daughters, Tuki since she was 15 months old, and Mim and Ve since before homecoming. Today, I nearly forgot my blog anniversary date with all the yucky hoopla occurring in our state, but it was jarred back into my memory late in the day. So Happy Anniversary Call of the Phoebe! , a friend and a place to hang my thoughts and store my memories in good times and bad.

I am so behind - as usual!
Happy Blog-versary!
It's Spring down here - and we've got the Northern college students to prove it.
Hope you guys thaw out soon.
