"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
We have been laying pretty low since Christmas.....really low since my face is peeling a little more every day, but doing well. We are expecting visitors Brenda and her kids in a few days, that will get us going. I fear that I can become a real hermit when given the opportunity...and my daughters are also feeling fine with how lazy we have been. Mim had a party she attended yesterday, but other than that nothing. We will clean the house for our guests and then work on 4 more gourd ornaments. We ave several out for Christmas, our first ever, but for some reason I didn't take any pictures of them. Other family members expressed interest in getting them so we will make more before New Year's day in which we will all get together again.
