Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Back to the East Palisades

I picked up the kids early from school today so we could drive downtown and pick up my friend Cristina from the Coca Cola headquarters when her business meetings were over.  We then headed back to the East Palisades to show her some of the beauty of Atlanta.

The kids had fun showing off their running and jumping skills.

And they had fun leading the way along the trails, since they were the resident experts having been here once before.  ;)

We saw long leggity birds flying over us.


When we headed back to the parking lot, both kids started (voluntarily and unprompted) picking up trash along the river.  They even found a large bucket and old trash can that they used to stuff the trash in.

They stuffed it down as best they could so they could fit in even more trash to clean up the riverside.

It was such a gorgeous afternoon!

Cristina helped Owen carry his trash can of junk back to the parking lot dumpsters.

The kids with all the trash they collected.  They were so proud of themselves for helping clean up the environment.

And then there was more running and jumping the water before leaving.  Someone was soaked when we left.
