Earth Day is upon us. My grandson and I want out with garbage bags today, like many other families, and picked up trash along the river. We talked about our Mother Earth and I was impressed to hear about what he's been doing in school and at home to help the environment.

When you think about the state of our environment it can be overwhelming. I don't need to go on with a never ending list of all our problems. I'd just like to say that every little thing we do to help Mother Earth counts! Just something to think about.

Happy Earth Day!

Thanks for making me think @intuitvwandrlust.
