The Wheel

I am so embarrassed! My dear friend Lindsey called me and chided me as it has been two days since my last blog. I am so sorry! I have been high, high on life and have had little time to sit and think. My sister came into town and we have been busy, busy, busy! We have just been going on bike rides, having picnics and flying kites. The weather is gorgeous. When it gets like this I love to get out and bask in the suns glory. I let myself soak in the rays and am filled to the brim with joy for this beautiful world. As we rode from here to there it gave me renewed conviction to bike everywhere when possible. I bought a little trailer for my bike to carry groceries in. I only have to go 5 miles to the store and i feel that it is the least I could do to give back to the world that gives me so much. I also felt that I should no longer use a diaper service to clean my cloth diapers. The service has to drive to my house and also uses eco-unfriendly machines to sterilize the diapers. Instead I will clean them at home with the time I have freed up because I am not running useless errands in the car. I challenge you to think about what you can give up too in order to give back.
