Olive Green With A Hint Of Pink

   Good Morning Starshine...
   If you know the tune, you know me, sing along..
   And if you don't, download it and hum with me......

   I sit at this computer, this humid (yes I have the doors open) Sunday morning, with a sense of purpose.
   My purpose is to fill out some online forms for, in the future, a colonoscopy.
   However, as you are reading, nothing could be further from my thoughts. ( what do they need to know?)   (give me some meds, run a hose up me, take a picture, and pray I have a granola bar in my purse!) ( two fasting days, too much!) ( this will be a whole different blog in a couple of weeks!)
   Now back to present tense.
   I was so happy to see The Sunday Paper, this morn. We have stopped getting the paper, reading it online, like most people, these days. I did not totally cave, I need to feel the paper! So Sunday begins with a gift! Every Sunday, Lucy is happy, to retrieve the paper and mommy is happy. I want to sniff it, have ink on my hands, flag articles, and  just know it is a constant. I worry about my carbon footprint, but I put it in the bin to recycle. I think I may be Olive Green with a hint of Pink! yes, that is my carbon color ( could be Lily fabric!)
   We have a trash compactor for aluminum! ( I think it uses electricity to crush them??? but I can put more in the bag. Lord, they are in a trash bag, I may need to change that) We recycle glass, plastic and paper. I think we need to be using less of those products, but baby steps. I used cloth diapers for about a week! I made my own baby food, and nursed the kids until they were able to tell me when one side was empty. I have had some good green moments. My horoscope ( yes I read it) said to look beyond what people are doing? I think that includes me?? My door is open, and I am using fans, the air conditioner is turned high. ( Soon, I will feel faint and crank it down!) ( remember the hint of pink!)
  I think, and I hope we all try. I shop the Farmers Market, support local farmers! I plant drought resistant plants, but I love paper towels!!! I must be a work in progress, like all of us.
  I have no plans to cancel the Sunday paper, it brings me a plethora of joy.
  I think in the carbon footprint world, that counts for something.
  Enjoy your Sunday, treat yourself and the earth with love and kindness, and forgiveness.
  Olive Green with a hint of Pink, right now, that is me.

Remember all errors are on purpose, you know that hint of Pink color drives people crazy
