Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday the 8th day of April, 2018.
The sun is shining and I think that I heard a bird chirping earlier in the morning.
There is now a light blanket of snow covering everything.
Over the course of the morning thus far it has been snowing in between the sunshine breaks.
The house is not quiet as me Alvin is back home once again.
We went to bed a bit later than normal and I read for awhile.
He did not get up until 6:22 a.m. and then only wanted to go outside, not wishing to eat.
So we headed back to the sofa until just after 8:00 a.m.
It still took him several minutes to eat which was about 8:30 a.m.
He shows no signs of distress or anxiety.
I think of all the creatures big and small on this earth so may not be quite so fortunate.
They are living in constant danger and fear.
Anxiety is a way of life.
How sad is that.
I just do not believe that we as humans have continued through the ages to be such mean, horrible, vindictive creatures.
Why?
What is the purpose?
Is it all about power, greed and money?
At some point in the near future we have to step away from that and simply to the right thing.
What would be so wrong about that?
I know that it is not everyone.
I know that there are so many good people.
But even us good people live in denial.
We do not look after the environment nor each other.
Let us face it ….. most people live their lives in denial and with blinders on.
As long as it does not directly impact our lives, we just say “It is not my fault” or “Let the government fix things.”
Well I am here to tell you ….. it is YOUR fault and MINE.
Why would we think that the government would fix things when we do not?
We elect them.
Food for thought.
Please it all starts with being good residents.
Good residents of your home, of your neighbourhood, of your city or town, of your country and of this planet.
We should care about the future generations, what kind of planet will they live on?
If you have any kind of imagination, it is most scary, to say the least.
Start by picking up the trash in and around your home.
Pack your garbage and recycling properly.
There are winds in every area of CANADA.
Make sure that you check with your municipality to make sure that you are placing the proper items in the blue bins or recycling bags.
If not, they cannot be recycled.
This costs each municipality MILLIONS of DOLLARS each year.
It is up to each and every one of us to make this right.
Not the government and not your neighbour, it all starts with YOU …..
I hope that you have a great Sunday.
Special Hello to: all those folks who strive each and every day to make this planet healthy and safe for every creature.
Always, Carol & Alvin
