every day? really?

Maybe I should shoot for every week instead--since I've already failed miserably at posting. But, the beauty of this new outlook is that I can't beat myself up for imperfections. Mistakes happen--and sometimes take you places more beautiful than you were going in the first place.

What did this week have in store for us? Jeremiah didn't get fired. I should probably explain that....

On Wednesday, when I made my first post, Jeremiah was presenting to the faculty at PSU about a little project we're calling "Plymouth Pick-upPalooza". After 6 weeks of collecting garbage in our neighborhood, Jeremiah weighed the bags (that have been collecting in our garage, basement and foyer) to reveal that one man, on one 20 minute dog walk per day can collect 117.5 lbs of recycling. I'm not sure what's more frightening: Jeremiah presenting this information to the faculty or the fact that there was that much garbage on our streets. I thought it was crazy to collect all this garbage. I thought it was crazier to present to the faculty, fearing he would be flamed for revealing the flaws of our students. But, when you love someone, you have support their dreams--even if you think doing so will result in them getting fired and you having to sell the house. Ultimately, the faculty embraced him and now he's a man on a mission.


Look for "Plymouth Pick-upPalooza" on FB and like him. And, for those of you keeping track--yes, this means that Jeremiah has a Facebook page!
