@Lucy @ dreamingaloudnet: Hey Lucy, lovely to see you and thank you so much for sharing the award; I’m really touched and never knew we inspired a rebuild of your hubby’s site - that’s fantastic! What is the URL? I’d love to go along and take a nose ….

I have just been awarded the Stylish Blogger Award - and I, get to award it on. So here it is from me to you, to recognise that I love your work. And am fully aware that this might not be “your sort of thing” (or that you already have it!)

@Jennifer: Oh How I miss my cats I have a rabbit and she will jump up for a cuddle, but it’s not quite the same. Good point about living in misery is likely to make you unable to stick to things…

@Small Footprints: Great comment and well balanced - those are my feelings too

I’ve always believed that living green means creating a balance … it’s not about NEVER using resources but rather using them responsibly. Being a little uncomfortable is okay … it’s actually healthy for our bodies to have to deal with cooler temperatures. But that doesn’t mean we should suffer and become sick. It simply means that we use smaller amounts and conserve whenever and wherever we can.

That’s my 2 cents!

I’m with you on the comfort thing. I’m willing to make plenty of changes, but having blue fingertips in my own house isn’t one of them. My thermostat is set at 64F, and I usually have a warm cat, laptop, or mug of tea nearby. We’re lucky to live in a house with big south-facing windows, so it keeps itself pretty warm during the day.

I don’t think there’s any point in making yourself miserable to be green — chances are you won’t stick with it, anyway.
