Webkinz Smiles~ A receiver's perspective

Saw this posted on one of the boards I frequented and I thought you Starfish smilers might like to read about how someone receiving an RAOK felt.

I took DD to the Hallmark store yesterday for the $10 Webkinz promo. If you made a $10 purchase, you were able to pick out a free Webkinz. Our store had a nice selection to choose from too So we're checking out, I had to buy cards and had my $12 in Crown rewards, so the girl tells her to choose her free Webkinz. The lady next to us is checking out and the clerk tells her about the promo. She says she has teenage boys and no need for a Webkinz but give it to this little girl and turns to my DD! What a sweet and kind jester, my DD's eyes lit up like she was given a million dollars I kept thanking her over and over again, it was so sweet of her.


Keep passing on the smiles.

Making A Difference

Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He
smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day.

So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"

"The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die."

"But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said - "It made a difference for that one."

CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY?
