"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

Update

Wow, where has October gone? I have many photos to upload and sometime soon I will do that. It has been a busy month with school, admin classes, the girls' sports, attending a conference and winterizing the yard and animals every chance we get. Immediately following October, on Thursday Nov 1st I interviewed for a Summer School Coordinator Position, naturally interviewed poorly, it was first in a very long time so I was really nervous. Hopefully now that I have one interview down for administration jobs, I will be more relaxed, especially since there will be more posted in December.

I had a student teacher the first quarter and now he has moved onto his high school experience, so in some ways things will get busier at school and in some ways quieter. I will be teaching for about 5 weeks and on December 18, I am scheduled for another surgery. I will be out of school for 3 weeks (one will be Christmas break) and then start up again, but probably dead tired for awhile.

Mim and Ve will be starting basketball in November and both programs will run until next March. Tuki will continue with the skating since she is still too young to join any formal BB team.

Tuki and Ve's birthdays are coming up in the next two months and Mim's 3 years home celebration will be this Monday, Nov 5th. This year has been a much better year with her than last year. I think all the pieces are finally falling into place and she is maturing.

We are hosting the family Thanksgiving this year since our usual holiday is Christmas and I will be moving very slow at that time.

Other than that all is well around here, busy as always during the school year, but we become use to the craziness that occurs during the 9 months of school.
