Today is Statehood Day in Slovenia. On today’s day in 1991 Slovenian government passed intent of independence. Next day (6/26/1991) Yugoslav army attacked Slovenia by driving tanks on the streets.

However, let’s celebrate the good things.

Happy Statehood Day SLOVENIA!!!

Lyrics: Slovenija, Od Kod Lepote Tvoje (A.B. Avsenik)

Povsod kamor seže pogled,
lepota zasanjana,
kje najti še lepši je svet,
kje lepše je kot doma.

Se s hribov v daljave zazrem,
prek gričev, dolin, gora,
v daljavi še modro morje uzrem,
kje lepše je kot doma.

Slovenija, odkod lepote tvoje,
pozdravljamo te iz srca in srečni tu smo doma!
Slovenija, naj tebi pesem poje,
ne išči sreče drugot kot le doma.

Povej še oblaček ti bel,
obhodil že ves si svet,
je lepša dežela še kje,
kot naša, kjer smo doma.

Je vetrič veselo zapel,
preletel je prek sveta,
in takih lepot ni našel nikjer,
kot tule, kjer sem doma.

Slovenija, odkod lepote tvoje,
pozdravljamo te iz srca in srečni tu smo doma!
Slovenija, naj tebi pesem poje,
ne išči sreče drugot kot le doma.

Today is Earth Day. Why is that important? To quote John Lennon: “…Imagine all the people; Living for today…“. No matter what you believe in, you have to understand the impact you are having on your and other people life. This includes your children, their children etc.

To help you better grasp your impact, do the following thing:

Today, step outside, close your eyes and try to think of nothing in particular
Feel the feet touching the ground
Think of yourself as a part of the Earth and not just a temporary visitor
No for the hard one… Think of the impact your life has on the earth
Finally, hug somebody, as many people as possible

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!

Finally, as Adam Werbach said, set yourself a Personal Sustainability Promise (PSP) and follow it. It does not have to be something huge. Here are some ideas:
