brrrrrrrr....it's so cold

I am frustrated by politicians that push adgendas that focus on areas that benifit their districts or them personaly. All this talk of global warming appears to be cycles of our natural earth's processes as it has for years before us! I am all in favor of protecting our air, water and environment but some of the things they have said are just out there! If people would use common sense we would be better off! I am angered by the push to use CFL's for lamping fixtures, they have shoved this on people without giving ways to dispose of these or recycle areas that are convienient for consummers. I am in favor of lower watt consumption but the disposal issues concern me, the manufacturs tell us the murcury content is low, yet they tell you to wrap them in2plastic bags!!!! If your child pulls one out of the shopping cart and it breaks in their hands, they will have this chemical on their hands! Not cool Obama and other politicians pushing this stuff! Please re-think what your pushing on people and kids before you force it on us! I want to see recyle bins at every company that sells CFL's, if you are adding to the problem then I believe you should have to make a way to correct a negative! The government mandated laws to manufacturers to change wattage production on lamps to use lower amounts with higher output of lumens production, I love this and feel this is awesome for our country but they needed to have better options in place first! LED's use much less wattage and would solve the disposal issue! Lets see some change out there!

Happy New Year!

As I look out the window and see the snow flurries I feel a chill inside. It makes me wonder as I see the trees blowing side to side when will I see the rebirth of spring. My heart longs for the warmth of the sun beating down on the earth making things stir in ways we can not see. Winter can be magical in it's mystery of ice and snow but nothing beats the magic of the first flower we see sprouting with a force, through the cold snow. The irony of it some how melts the ice off out hearts and reminds us of a higher power in control of all things. As we all start this new year I pray the power within is strengthened and grows to bring a new realization of where our hope lies. Happy New Year and may God Bless everyone!
