    Gave more school supplies to my niece and nephew last night and put more in the boxes that this time may go to the Rescue Mission of Trenton as they are in dire need of help with $400,000-in- the- hole.

    I am thankful for the very peaceful night last night and it was so quiet this morning too.I am also thankful for the EcoChallenge because it got me going to exercise more and to up-cycle and recycle more and more frequently. I plan to  continue to do so in the year ahead creating yet another new good habit for living peacefully with the earth.

    I am thankful for the rain. It recharges the ground water. I am thankful for the rain because it cleans the air and I am thankful for the soil and bedrock of mother earth that wash the rain clean as it migrates to recharge our drinking water supply.
