"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

Three years home


Birthday gift from Grandma - day with Gram at the ceramic shop

making a cup

together time

She has been home 3 years today. In some ways she has made so much progress, and yet in others I feel like we are stuck in the mud.....Her wonderful even moods add a nice balance to her wildly moody sisters...LOL, and she is starting to really show her true personality....School still takes work, but she is beginning to try harder when she doesn't understand a new concept. Her memory is still bad, but I sometimes wonder if it isn't a gift from God...that way she doesn't have to hold on to the things that she saw and things she had to endure prior to coming home.

Our tree is up, our outside lighted deer are up (gift from Grandma), almost all the presents are purchased and it looks we might not have a white Christmas...and guess what..I am TOTALLY excited about NOT having snow, that is how much I have learned not to enjoy our winter wonderland..as I have stated before I need to go south in my retirement. My first semester of admin classes are finished as well, only 2 more years to go!!
