learning to love you more (assignment no. 42)

5 events from1984:

1.   Eating popsicles on the porch with Mom on a sundrenched august afternoon.

2.   Getting my first pair of (really big!) glasses and actually seeing stuff.

3.   Dancing to Beach Boys songs in the living room with Jeff.

     4.   Wandering onto the kill floor of a local butcher, and seeing a live cow hanging upside down from a hook in the ceiling by its tail.

     5.  Asking Jesus to 'come into my heart' on the brown couch with Dad, after asking him how someone could fit inside there.

 

We add up

My favourite shirt on www.weaddup.com says: 

Eat less meat.  

No one can do everything.  

Everyone can do something.  

It pretty much sums up my favourite response to all the haters out there, who go into attack-and-kill mode at the mere mention of the dreaded v-word (vegetarian!).

But what I really love about the site is its inclusive, strength-in-numbers, hipster-global-community, we-can-do-it vibe.  As Ben Lee so aptly sings it, "We're all in this together!"
