Chaska, MinnesotaHello Teddy Bear Friends: From time to time I find wonderful stories. Some are from my own experience and others are I found in books or the internet. This is a story I found on the internet. All in all, you do make a difference....Author unknown.
The Starfish
The Zen monk, Ryokan, was discovered by his disciple Saito by
the sea, where the tide had washed ashore hundreds of starfish.
They would soon die of exposure. Ryokan was tossing the
starfish, one at a time, back into the ocean, in a slow,
meditative movement.
“Why do you bother?” Saito asked Ryokan, overwhelmed by
the sheer number of starfish dying. “It won’t make any
difference.”
Ryokan stopped for a moment, looking at the starfish in his
hand. He replied, “It will to this one.”
LuxembearsMichelle, I absolutely love that story. That is also in Chicken Soup for the Soul. This book is full of these kinds of stories. Everyone should read this book. It will give you goosebumps and you'll be dog-earring every other page!
Thanks for sharing Michelle. 
:hug:
Michelle,
I understand 
As I walk down to breakfast at Country Corners restaurant after it has rained, I bend down to pick up earthworms who have been washed into the road. Drivers must think I'm crazy

Judi: I will have to get this book. I love stories like this. I am a manager and I use stories like this to teach and coach my staff. I'm glad you knew where it came from....
