YOU ARE THE CHANGE THE WORLD NEEDS!!

Hola darlings! Its another Monday and I'm sure you've missed me😉
Well, let's not waste anymore time.. Today's story is titled:

'All the Difference in The World'
Every Sunday morning I take a light jog around a park near my home. There’s a lake located in one corner of the park. Each time I jog by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage sitting beside her.
This past Sunday my curiosity got the best of me, so I stopped jogging and walked over to her. As I got closer, I 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 spongy brush.
“Hello,” I 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!” I 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?” I asked.
“Yep, sadly, they do,” she replied.
I scratched my 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 fresh water 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 in her lap, scrubbed off the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little 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.
Some many times I hear people complain that the reason they couldn't do a thing is because they didn't have "enough" to do it..
But then I get confused how much is "enough"..
So many of us have pets.
They don't Cook, run errands or even give us money..
But every morning or after work, we look forward to that excited bark or purr and our hearts are filled with joy..
Some of us have kids and the joy of watching them grow and do silly things takes away a lot of pressure..
ONE LITTLE SMILE
ONE LITTLE DIME OR PENNY
ONE LITTLE DRESS OR SHOE
ONE LITTLE PRAYER..
Can go a long way in making a difference..



In summary, don't wait until you have ENOUGH..
Make use of the LITTLE at your disposal and you'll find yourself becoming happier and fulfilled!

Ciao! Have a wonderful week! See you next time.
