A Greener Just Another Drill: For Ernie

For Ernie

A lover not a fighter (okay, so he was a bit of a fighter)

Hated snakes, bobcats, neighborhood dogs, grandma's cat, all cats really, grandkids and being disturbed while sleeping.

My aunt and uncle lost their little buddy today.

Hug your dogs and say a prayer for Ernie.

Anonymous said...: Thank you for your tribute to Ernie. It will take a long time before I will stop looking around for him. He was usually near Ray and always looked around the house for his Daddy after he was outside.
Love Aunt Sue; 6:47 AM
Anonymous said...: I loved that stinkin' dog! He was like one of the kids. He loved to leave me little cookies under my pillow when I stayed over there. He was notorious for stealing the neighbors easter eggs, he was very well acquainted with all of the local skunks and loved a good but not always fair game of tug of war. I will cherish the many memories of Ernie Boy!; 8:36 AM

Words To Live By

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
