"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

wrote a track behavior contract under my guidance. I decided to do this since her attitude and behaviors tend to get a whole lot worse during a sport. Her raging has been tough as it is, and I wanted to curb her raging during the season when she was more tired ad stressed due to having less time for her tons of her homework. The contract has a list of 16 items noted as to how she is to be behave. This way if she breaks the contract then she knows it was her fault and not mine since it was what we both agreed upon. I have pointed out a few points to her over the weekend as she was pushing and letting her emotions start climbing. She readily admits that she lets the emotions control her rather her control her emotions, thus the out of control raging. Plus she admits she likes to lose control periodically (in her case monthly), but hen of course she blames me for her LOVE of losing control. BTW I see the therapist starting April 17th and then after that I make appointments for her. Her track coach knows and will dismiss her from practices without penalty.

I am hoping for the best.
