"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

Peaches

We ordered about 5 different types of fruit again this year. So far we had the blueberries and apricots arrive. Two days ago the peaches came, and today amidst the continual chicken coop remodeling, I made 16 loaves of very yummy Peach-Peanut (double p) bread...it really does taste great, plus I am setting another gallon of peach wine and canning about 5 pints of peach jam....and we still have an entire box left over so we will continue to eat the fresh peaches over the next few weeks. We are getting ready for out camping weekend, our last hurrah before our life becomes super crazy again....BTW - because we have been working so focused and intensively on the chicken coop, I haven't been able to sneak in a work out this week...so I better get some in next week.

It doesn't appear that I will meet my weight goal...I knew there was a reason I needed to be conservative...I am much more toned (yeah I know hard to tell from the previous posted pictures of myself), but believe me I am more toned than maybe 3 month ago...it was that bad, so I am trying to stay positive and keep taking baby steps forward to overall health and fitness.
