Inspiring Story.

One day after a large storm, tens of thousands of starfish were washed up on the beach above the high tide line. An old man was casually wandering along the beach picking up the creatures and placing them back into the ocean. A young boy, upon witnessing this occurring for some time, approached the old man.“Hey Mister, Do you know how many starfish there are on this beach?” inquired the boy. “I dunno… maybe 20 000. Maybe a lot more.” replied the old man“Why are you doing it then? You can’t make a difference.” The man looked down at the starfish in his hand and then up to the boy. As he placed the animal back into the ocean he intoned “I reckon it makes a pretty big difference to this one.” The boy began helping

I’ve no idea where who told this story as I found it on a blog and they didn’t know either. To me it means that even if we only help one person or animal etc, then at least we’ve done something to help and to them that might be all that matters and all that is needed.

Please remember to recycle whenever possible, and be conscious of your effects on the natural world. 

 This is why I don’t believe I’m wasting my time at work when I cut and rip these things up No matter what my boss says. I am not wasting time.

The fact that there are over 6 billion people out there, and even though people can say “Nobody loves you”, the odds of not one of those 6 billion people not caring about you, is more than likely impossible. - Anonymous

Going home

So today I’m going home for a few days and I’m excited, mainly because I get to see my nephew who I love to pieces but also cause I’m looking forward to seeing my family and Laura who I rarely see. We have plans for a pre birthday walk most likely along the beach.

I’m rather looking forward to it been christmas and going home so I can play Maria Mena’s Home for Christmas and it actually be an appropriate setting for once.
