"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

February 10th

I had to have Heathcliff euthanized. He went down quickly in one week. The lymph nodes grew twice in size, his spleen became enlarged and his lungs were filling with fluid.  What a quick growing cancer. I didn't want him to suffer..I will miss my Heathclifford, his littermate Einstein is still going strong...

That's all

We are deep in basketball season and Ve is very good. An AAU coach approached her about joining the team, but it is too much of a commitment for traveling and I don't have the funds to do this anyway.

I am feeling a little hopeless in obtaining an administration position and purchasing a 20 acre farmette east of here. I have applied at another position but I don't feel hopeful. It seems all just out of my reach every time I try to make a move in that direction.

Funny ESL story

Mim was sitting in the same bus seat with a neighbor, and new friend (also ESL student) of hers on the way home from school on Friday.

Her friend states "I feel horny"

Mim, not knowing what the word horny means but while incorrectly thinking the word means cold replies "I am horny too"

Both girls proceeds to laugh about it.

Upon arranging home, Mim asks me what the word means....we had a great laugh over this..now whenever we feel cold we say "I feel horny!!"
