"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
and I am already feeling calmer....
is it the relaxing, fun and entertaining 11 days we just had off,
is it the anticipation of a year that just has to be better than last year
is it knowing that I am taking charge and slowly advancing my future employment
is it that Mim has been AWESOME this whole break and ever since we had a heart to heart talk and me putting down a major consequence that will stay in place until I see an attitude change
or is it that my attitude is taking a swing upward toward the Pollyanna stance once again
I don't know for sure but I am sure hopeful, and I am wishing others this hopeful good feeling as well.
