It's All About Perception and Values

Family is down from Buffalo so posting has been difficult to fit in but I wanted to leave something to think about each day. Consider this from Thoreau--written over 150 years ago, it is still relevant in the 21th century.
"If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off these woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."
To that I add:
"You pave paradise, put up a parking lot."
Enough with the needless destruction of our land, forests and natural habitat.
25 minute tempo run on the beach, really had a feeling I had worked it when I was done--swimming and stretching after. Just a great feeling after.
So, what did you do today?
