San Antonio Zoo Volunteer Family

October Ecochallenge has been a challenge alright, but also a lot of fun. Hardest part for me is remembering to check in everyday. So happy that I can go back and check off my actions from the days before .

Most showers can be less than five minutes, if we pay attention.

Wasn't able to fully see the sunrise or sunset due to the rain. Still made me appreciate the rain that came through.

I am grateful towards the sky, the rivers, and the trees. These have been the main natural gifts I keep being drawn towards. I hope to continue to appreciate more.

Thinking on going on a walk before my shift that should be fun! Walking on zoo grounds now and maybe doing some I naturalist as well;)

Added anther eco challenge for myself. I will be including the INKTOBER Challenge! Looking forward to drawing more often and getting points to feel rewarded for my accomplishments.

I very much agree that it is better to pay the farmer. It means paying less down the line for reactive medical care. I have opted to include bread in the definition of "whole foods" during my daily diet because it perishes and is made of ingredients that are pronounceable and non-synthetic. :)
