"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
The girls last week of summer school. I finished my 24 page curriculum school improvement plan and I am now getting ready to head out to Colorado next week. The girls will be staying home with Grandma. I will be zip-lining, rafting and learning new ideas about implementing STEM . This week was pretty much staying the course.
I have been thinking about how nice this summer has been and I think it is due to Mim and Ve, but especially Mim's visits with the therapist...what a difference it has made.
my rose bush that I received last year for my 50th birthday and now it is blooming again on my birthday.
