"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
Mim is reacting to missing out on everything yesterday, and she has reverted back to "mom's fault" I have been trying to show her, though unsuccessfully that "her style" that she claims she has a right to (which she does) is not working for her...her style is slow moving, kumbyha mentally and yesterday for example it evens hurts her and what she wants, as well as the family and her studies...but the problem is she does not process or analyze mistakes, so she never figures out "what went wrong" she just complains and says "why does this always happen to me"....well I know it is because she never seems to finish anything to the end, partially end, almost done but not all the way and it costs her time and time again...but she doesn't take the time to figure it out and she hates when I point it out to her....so here we are again dealing with "her style"
