Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Spring in Colorado

....an inch of snow yesterday morning, today 60 degrees and a garter snake sunning on the sidewalk.

I woke up this morning and the maintenance light on my life was blinking


     I noticed this comic and the following quote today.  I think it must be the universe telling me to get back on track as I've been sliding a bit in my health efforts.....eating too much, spending too much time on the computer, not exercising enough.  (Either the universe or a guilty conscious are speaking to me). I think it will help if and when warmer weather finally arrives.  It is April and we had 6 inches of snow overnight.  It is beautiful, sure, but I don't want to go out and take a long walk in it.

Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis





It is health that is the real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

I love this.....

Global warming & the irreversible collapse of civilization


     The following two articles tie in to yesterday's blog about global warming.  In the first, the U.N. warns about global warming.  The second is a NASA-funded study about the possible collapse of civilization. They are bleak reading.  The point is for everyone to start heeding the warnings, if not for themselves, then for a viable future for their children, grandchildren, nephews, and nieces.
