"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

Car brakes

need changing, just this last week I heard metal grinding every time I braked the car. A car mechanic told me in January my brakes were great, and now 6 months they are grinding...ohhh those car mechanics tick me off sometimes...another 250.00 or so but I guess this is still better than car payments.

My first week of the admin internship has gone well. I really like this future prospect, now I just need to finish my credits and hope that a job shows up, I get it, and it works for the whole family.

Everything in the garden is coming up, I predict in a week or so we will be eating lettuce from the garden, something we all really enjoy...way better than store bought.

Zamboni has been a great addition for our family. Mim's behavior has been fantastic. She says she is trying to be well behaved and she is doing it too. I feel it has something to do with Zamboni. I see her acting more grounded with him around. Maybe it is having something alive that is "hers" and she knows she is responsible for him. We took him to the vet yesterday and she handled the whole process, except for the payment of course. :) I think since she will only be doing two sports during the school year she should not get overly stressed so hopefully not overly tired thus bad behavior will be at a minimum.
