Blind

So as you can see, this is my first entry to my very first blog, which I'm super excited about!
This morning, I was woken by the piercing brightness of our lovely sun, and though I had not had a soundless sleep, I was surprisingly able to greet the new day with peace.
It continues to astound me every single morning, that our climate can differ so much!! One morning, it's overcast and snowing in mid-May and the next it's 20 above and sunny! Talk about Global Warming hey?
I have been trying to reduce my own personal impact on our environment. Not extensive things like buying a hybrid car, or an eco-friendly house, but little things that we can all do. I remember sitting in our living room, watching Oprah. (yes I watch Oprah) She was featuring ways to improve your lifestyle, in an eco-friendly manner. There was a woman, who I'll never forget! She would literally unplug, turn off, and detach everything from computers to T.V.'S to Fridges!! I figure, with the Fridge, she'd plug and unplug, so the food wouldn't go bad...Right?!? She'd even go so far as to record how much water they used for showers, baths, using the toilet, doing dishes etc. Don't get me wrong, I think it's fantastic, and if I remember correctly, her utilities bill was like $80.00!! But, first off, I don't think my parents would take to kindly if I unplugged our fridge (Even if I could figure out how)... or T.V. Or if I quizzed them on how long they were in the shower for and how much water they used in that time period.
The few things that I try to do, even though they are small, have overall changed how I start my day and live my life.
