To be green

You know I didn't used to think that I needed to be all that green, but the more I think about it, the more we should all be a bit more green. I mean I don't think I will ever drive a car powered by old McDonald's fry grease, but I certainly think that I can make a difference in my own life and for those around me. So I do what I need to do.....energy efficient lights, recycling, turn off the water when I brush my teeth, no showering when I am sick, etc. I'll never drive a biofuel car, but I certainly won't the water run while I brush my teeth. Not enough of an effort maybe, but a lot more than most people I tell you.

Speaking of being green, with envy that is....I always comment to people that as a group us Mexicans are a collaborative group of haters, but over the last few days I learned a little bit about myself. You see, I was browsing the net and I cam across three people from my childhood. I was genuinely proud of all them for all they had accomplished; envious at first, but then genuinely happy and proud of them. I also talked to another friend and she really helped me put things in perspective. I was talking to her about how I felt that life was just passing me by and how I felt that I was not accomplishing as much as others with whom I had grown up. She made me realize that we are all doing our own thing.
