"A" for Effort

So today was a smallishly disappointing day. . .

I had to buy sunscreen, for we are the fairest of all. And you cannot buy suncreen in anything other than a plastic container. Some times there seems to not be a way around it. Go ahead, buy crackers. Buy crackers in a cardboard box made from recycled material, and inside you will find plastic sleeve bags to keep your munchies crunchy.

Some of this stuff can be given a second or even a third go around.

When we get junk mail, my youngest gets the "reply" envelopes they put in there. She uses them to play Valentines. We have an ever growing collection of plastic cheese buckets, spaghetti sauce jars, and brown paper bags- just waiting, waiting for the day they are useful once again!

Here is to doing what we can today with what we have, and waiting for tomorrow to make a difference again.
