Good morning my DU family,

Sometimes, we do things on such and such a day because we have to. Examples would be taking the trash out the night before the garbage man comes, doing laundry on Sundays to prepare for the coming week, eating fish on Fridays during Lent and so on.

Let's make today "Do mother nature a good deed day". Whether it is watering your favorite tree or bringing a old grocery bag to pick up some litter during our daily walk, or leaving a source of water for small wild animals if you live in a desert or dry area.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to leave that which we've "touched", a little better than we found it.

Have a spiritually rewarding day DU.
Love, John

Although I think we could all be more conscientious. To be awake is so much more fun.
