Yesterday was Earth Day, a day dedicated to celebrating this planet. In an ideal world, we would celebrate our beautiful world and all it has to offer every day; by making conscious decisions and by being full of gratitude. The world can be a scary place (that sentiment seems especially true right now) and there are many things we cannot control.
