Flash Fiction Friday- tributes to new friends

every friday write a short story of 55 words
no more no less and then report it to the g-man!!


"A gratitude list for Fridays notes

to Syd who makes me stop and ponder

for fireman johns questions and quotes

to shadows poems that make me ponder

and for Dr. John's lovable groaners

thanks to g-man for bringing us all together.

and blogging here brings me new faith

for a world uniting in cyber space."

there's my shot at a sappy groaner for you, not as clever as Dr. John, but I wanted to try to tribute to a sweet person whom I only had the honor of knowing through this bit of cyber space we all share. it is amazing to me that this little piece of hardware on this makeshift desk can bring me to know some of the most endearing people on the planet. and 10 years ago this was absolutely unheard of. definitely shows there is a God and he probably reads e-prayers daily!! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and can appreciate those in your lives today.

Earth Hour 2010

On Earth Hour hundreds of millions of people, organizations, corporations and governments around the world will come together to make a bold statement about their concern for climate change by doing something quite simple—turning off their lights for one hour. In the U.S. where we are already feeling the impacts of climate change, Earth Hour sends a clear message that Americans care about this issue and want to turn the lights out on dirty air, dangerous dependency on foreign oil and costly climate change impacts, and make the switch to cleaner air, a strong economic future and a more secure nation.

Participation is easy. By flipping off your lights on March 27th at 8:30 p.m. local time you will be making the switch to a cleaner, more secure nation and prosperous America. View the toolkits, to find out what else you can do to get involved including leading the Earth Hour movement in your community.

Set Your Clock

On Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 8:30 p.m. local time, Earth Hour will once again cascade around the globe, from New Zealand to Hawaii

Sparking a Movement

Since its inception three years ago, Earth Hour’s non-partisan approach has captured the world’s imagination and became a global phenomenon. Nearly one billion people turned out for Earth Hour 2009 – involving 4,100 cities in 87 countries on seven continents.

Video

Please click on the video link. Earth Hour is not about saying if we shut off our lights we are saving the planet. I have heard critics call us stupid for doing this. Earth hour is about uniting the masses and sending a message to the worlds governments that we want to save our planet, that we believe in global warming and that we need to stop destroying the earth. Watch the video and decide for yourself if you will join us in turning off your lights for one hour on March 27, 2010 at 8:30pm local time. it is an amazing thing to be involved in, and this year i will try to get my whole city involved.

I just heard about Dr. John, and my deepest sympathies to all of his friends and family. I will miss his sweet comments and his contributions to the Friday Flash Fiction. The blogging community lost a wonderful member yesterday.
