2 IN 1

It is April 22 and Good Friday, where parents with young children get out the food colouring and hard-boil some eggs. When there are Easter baskets full of chocolate delights awaiting bright-eyed little ones. Or, it may be when families attend church to celebrate the religious side of Easter.

However you may celebrate this holiday, I wish you all a very Happy Easter!





And today, April 22, 2011 is also Earth Day. A day to celebrate this beautiful, wonderful planet that we live on. Today our thoughts also turn to ways that we can help our earth to become a healthier place, a greener place. I know that personally I don't do enough on my part, even though we recycle like crazy in our household, indeed in our city. I turn the water off between shampooing and rinsing.... between toothbrush strokes, and flip light switches off to rooms not being used. (I do use little night lights in a few rooms though, as my "night vision" has always been horrid)

I bought myself (and my 3 sisters) a great book on "green cleaning" for Christmas and although I am adamant that I will start using some of the great suggestions in those pages, I admit that I've yet to begin. When weather permits I walk to work and back, but when it's winter I will accept rides or take a cab. Many years ago instead of using a dryer I used to hang my laundry outside. But that ended after bringing a few bees into the house with my dried laundry, sadly I just won't do that anymore.

I tell myself that I need to do more, and I'm hopeful that I will try harder!

This earth of ours is indeed majestically beautiful, but it is also vital to our existence. Happy Earth Day, earth!

PEACE!
Love Jude
