    The most prominent water concern in my area would be pollution from run-off of fertilized properties.  Our local DNR is creating drainage ponds where street water run-off is drained into lakes.  The water filters through the soil in the pond before it makes its way into the lake.  Native plant materials have been planted at the waters' edge to prevent soil erosion.

    I want to be pared down as much as possible for a time in the future where I need to move.  I rarely go to traditional stores for clothing or household items (other than groceries!) so have lost the urge to even go browsing at 'the mall'. My daughter and I both appreciate an uncluttered home.

    Practicing gratitude reminds us that we are not alone in daily life.  We can help build up each other for a stronger walk together.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    I concentrate on the food and how it will provide nourishment for my body.  I spend time making food from scratch but usually cram it down and go back to my daily work.
