38 and on the up

A family choice: This can't be terminal for them.

The world is an ever changing place. We find ourselves in the daily fight for our own lives let alone the lives of the creatures of this world.  We are the creation that has chosen to invade this wonderful world.  My husband and I and our family along with many others choose to stand alone( It sure can feel that way in this world) and change this thought, this destruction one step at a time.

I had a conversation with my children last night and they have seen and currently see what is going on in our world.  Now it is our turn (I'll start with my husband and I) to take that stand and convince others that this isn't the life we were meant for.  Total destruction of the earth?  I think not.

It was in our best efforts to start the world changing subject with our kids.
Don't FREAK out.  It isn't as hard as you think, but it does require a little thought.

Here is a START since that can be the most difficult part

1.  Don't try to change it all in one day.

You can't try to climb a set a of stairs in one step, why would you put that kind of pressure on yourself to change your world thinking in one moment?  I will tell you this.  The more you do it the easier it gets.  Pretty soon you have left your self and become the universe and put all thought into what you do.

2.  Make the actual change.

Why are you just sitting there? Why would you watch someone dump chemicals on the yard to kill the weeds and not give that a second thought?  Are you confused?  Those chemicals kill the plants but they also kill whatever is in the yard, and when you water the yard it gets into the water.  The waters runs into the local were and then gets processed as what?  Tap water.  Why are are growing yards in the first place?  CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT THINGS.  Get off your phone, your Facebook, and look at what is happening.  Talk to your neighbors and your friends and make a choice.  I choose to let those bees pollenate those dandelions so that we may have food in other places. So that we can have clean water. Choose to get off your rump and get up and pick up the trash in the neighborhood and choose to recycle what you can instead of filling a barrel.

3.  Make a choice for those that are younger.

I want my kids to see the beauty that we have seen as children ourselves. There isn't a lot left anymore. The right choices depend on you but I will tell you this.  It has nothing to do with greed. Nothing to do with having nice things or the latest fashion trends.  It has to do with surviving this world with the least impact. It has nothing to do with MONEY.
Many of the choices that my husband and I have made in the past have been devastating.  YOU CAN START NOW. I'm not telling you to get rid of everything that you own now. I am asking that you seriously consider what IS needed from this day forward.

I know that each and every person wants to live a more satisfying life and have more time for the things that we really want.  

Start today by planting a seed for the future, for our children!
