    There are several actions shown that we already live our life by, so it's interesting to journal and to be reminded of what a wonderful planet we live on. Now that most of the gardening action and putting foods by has leveled off somewhat, we can do a bit more structured outdoor activities. Mushroom hunting and making our daily lists of happiness in our lives are a few of the next things to accomplish. Thanks so much for the great reminders.

    The selections I've made probably do not correspond with the intention of the challenge, as all of these are things we have already done in our life together. I'll have to look again for others, maybe my current selections need to be deleted (or ignored?).

      You both are such wonderful ecowarriors.  Good to attend to soul and spirit as part of that work!
