first intentional of the important day celebration last year<\/a>, this year's Earth Day came and went before I even realized the date. Kelli was out of town and I was doing the "Mister Mom" thing in the days leading up to Earth Day – so give me some slack. So I've decided that instead of simply calling it a loss and waiting for next year, I am going to this whole week as "Earth Week". I am really curious of what changes I might consider making if I intentionally thought of living as green as possible for a week. How might it change my habits? I'll keep you posted.<\/p>\nUPDATE: got some new house keys cut so I don't have to enter\/exit the garage when I leave\/come home, rode the bus into downtown this morning (something that I have wanted to do for a long time, but just never have)<\/p>\n
UPDATE: Riding the bus has been a pleasant surprise. It only prolongs the journey a few more minutes. It forces me to walk from house to stop\/stop to location and then back. And the best of all, the journey is filled with silent and restful sitting\/waiting. I can read, pray, plan, think, observe, and converse without having to worry about driving. I am study the routes and to find additional ways to add the bus into my routine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
