Bedtime Story
A friend sent me this video. I thought you might enjoy it. It’s a bedtime story a dad tells his child about the world he foresees.
Go Dark for an Hour
It’s happening now, wherever 8:30 PM local time arrives for you, in over 160 countries around the world and on all continents. People are turning off their lights for an hour in solidarity for working toward a sustainable future.
Turning off the lights is only a symbol, of course, but this annual event (a dozen years old) really is having an effect. One year, 35,000 American Girl Scouts were inspired to go into their community and install 132,141 energy-efficient light bulbs. The former president of Botswana organized to plant 100,000 trees in devastated areas.
Participate by turning off all lights tonight 8:30 – 9:30. Yes, all lights, including the TV and phone. Join with others to acknowledge the fact that all of us together need to work on saving our not-inexhaustible resources and keeping our Earth healthy for future generations.

How Our Children Think of Us
Ever wonder about the future, when our children have only memories of us? What will they think? What will they remember? Today’s Thursday Thought tells us how to leave them a legacy worth remembering.
“Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.” — H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Family
A long-overdue family reunion is taking place in our home this week. I am reminded of an Alex Haley quote that’s perfect for today’s Thursday Thought:
“In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.”
For My World-Weary Friends
Right now I know so many people going through unbelievable trials. This saying isn’t offered as a platitude but as a reminder of the strength of the human spirit.
