Welcome to the Green Ravine
Welcome to the Green Ravine! The Green Ravine is moving to greener pastures. All new postings can be found on our new wordpress blog. During this time we have found some growing pains, so please hang in and we will be on track soon. Thanks for visiting, we think you will enjoy our new site and with it in the spirit of simplicity we are working on a new approach and some interesting ideas and projects.
The Green Ravine is a voice to demonstrate that it is easy being green and I'll show you how. Being green is not an anti-social, activist behaviour anymore. It just makes good sense. There are benefits to "greening your life", which coincidently, include saving money and the environment. This blog and the websites associated with it hope to demonstrate the power of simplicity - life has become far too complicated. Simple is beauty.
You may also want to look at Past Dues, a quick guide to taking care of out of control bills and debts. If you are interested in alternative power then have a look at Green Home Power for hundreds of articles and resources on green energy.
Thank you for visiting the Green Ravine. We hope you will visit frequently for insights and return to review new resources & comments we want to share with you along our journey.
For a busy tomorrow....put it off today
It seems that life has become a flurry of activity, but what is the cost of that activity? We have all experienced the busy attitude in some form. A parent too busy to spend time with a child or vice versa. A friend seemingly unable to return a phone call or email. A promise "we should get together sometime" only never to happen. The list is endless. We focus our lives on tasks that result in material or professional gains. With each phone call missed, time spent with someone important should be the most valuable of assets, but alas we seem to be caught in the rift.
The more we put off our responsibility in school work, office work, house work, family demands, community building and time with friends the busier our world will actually become. If you delay the work, it often becomes stressful and harder to complete. People in the office become unhappy or impatient, waiting for you to complete something - but the deadline is past. This deadline is often past with personal issues and they are often irrevocable situations. The reason for this - sometimes it is too late. Not to be a doom sayer, but what if someone died. Did you spend the time with them. Did you get to say goodbye, tell them you love them?
If you want a busy tomorrow, put it off today. Because you may be spending a lot of time healing. You may be hurting people with your busy life. You may think success has come to you but really your achievements really create a huge loss. So if you want to improve your life and the people around you matter take the time today and avoid a busy tomorrow.
