MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

All the difference in the world.

Every Sunday morning a certain man takes a light jog around a park near his home. There's a lake located in one corner of the park. Each time he jogged by the lake, He sees the same elderly woman sitting at the water's edge with a small metal cage sitting beside her.

This past Sunday his curiosity got the best of him, so he stopped jogging and walked over to her. As he got closer, he realized that the metal cage was, in fact, a small trap. There were three turtles, unharmed, slowly walking around the base of the trap. She had a fourth turtle in her lap that she was carefully scrubbing with a sponge brush.

"Hello," he said. "I see you here every Sunday morning if you don't mind my nosiness, I'd love to know what you're doing with these turtles."

She smiled "I'm cleaning off their shells," she replied. "Anything on a turtle's shell, like algae or scum, reduces the turtle's ability to absorb heat and impedes its ability to swim. It can also corrode and weaken the shell over time."

"Wow! That's really nice of you!" he exclaimed.

She went on: "I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It's my own strange way of making a difference." 

"But don't most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and scum hanging from their shells?" he asked.

"Yep, sadly, they do," she replied.

He scratched his head. "Well then, don't you think your time could be better spent? I mean, I think your efforts are kind and all, but there are freshwater turtles living in lakes all around the world. And 99% of these turtles don't have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, no offense... but how exactly are your localized efforts here truly making a difference?"

The woman giggled aloud. She then looked down at the turtle on her lap, scrubbed the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, "Sweetie, if this guy could talk, he'd tell you I just made all the difference in the world."

The moral: You can change the world - maybe not all at once, but one person, one animal, and one good deed at a time. Wake up every morning and pretend like what you do makes a difference. It does.

I would like to do the same and make a difference in the world to someone. If anyone needs a change in their lives and get out of the grove, etc, they are in. This could maybe be you, just click >HERE< This could change the world for you, if you are not interested in changing your circumstances introduce someone else to this blog post.

It was nice communicating with to you.

All of the best.
