I always look forward to Earth Day.  Many people see New Year’s Day as the time to reflect and make impacting change in their lives, I see the coming of spring and the love of our planet as the perfect time to be introspective.

One of my biggest questions is :

WHY JUST ONE DAY?

I mean we have month long celebrations throughout the year, yet the planet that has sustained us without so much as a hiccup, gets one measley day??

How balanced is that? I do personally strive to make April a non-stop earth love month, but hey—I don’t exactly get to pass that legislation on for the rest of us.

It seems a little on the ungrateful side for us to devote just a brief 24 hour period to our home planet.  I just don’t get it— how do Fresh Florida Tomatoes get a full month??

Not that I don’t enjoy fresh Florida tomatoes just as much as the next  organic  salsa-loving girl, but come on! April also happens to be a month for kites, dog lyme disease, couple appreciation, preparing your home to be sold,  and my personal fave- southern belles.

How do southern belles get an  entire month, and lil ol’ planet earth gets one lil ol’ day?

“As the earth is my witness, I shall never go hungry again!!”

Seems like we may be in serious need of a  reevaluation of our priorities, people.

But, I’m just saying….

have a namaste!
