Redemption in a Mini Pincushion
Surprise, surprise the weather turned gorgeous this past weekend here in our Nations capital and I enjoyed the sun outside at a few choice locations. Usually one to bring along my own water bottle when venturing outdoors, I forgot. Inevitably I got thirsty in the hot sun and needed to quench it. So, I did the one thing that I really hate to do and bought a bottled water.
I know. I know. We actually all know the reasons not to do this. But my thirst won out and I was left with a happy sigh and an empty bottle.
To give myself a little bit of redemption, I gladly toted the empty bottle around for the rest of the day with all intentions for bringing it home, destined for the recycle bin. On my return home, I instead left it on my desk and contemplated the water bottle’s next life as a possible craft.
Let's face it. We can all be just a little more green. Even the greenest of the green have their own moral dilemmas. I know I have a lot of room to improve on the green scale. If I were to rate myself, my greenness would fall somewhere around a light, pastel mint color rather than a really dark, evergreen (this deep color signifying the die-hard do-gooders).
