What Matters?
A man found a long stretch of beach upon which hundreds of starfish had been stranded by a great storm. He observed a little girl cupping the starfish in her hands, one by one and gently placing them back into the ocean.
The man asked the little girl:
" What does it matter?
You'll never save them all anyway."
The little girl smiled softly and simply replied: "
The little girl smiled softly and simply replied: "
It matters to the ones I save."
The simple pleasures of life matter
A phone call from a friend
A comment on your blog
An email from someone special
Children laughing and singing

A child's innocence
A simple thank you
A job well done
Being appreciated for that job
A smile from a stranger
A wink, a nod, or a nudge 
A quiet walk on the beach 
Sand between your toes 
A warm kiss from the sun
The stars shining bright in the sky
Friends Like You Matter to Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cherish, I just have to say, I love the pictures you choose for your posts. They are simply gorgeous.
That was a very touching post, Cherish.
You definately should win some kind of blogging award for 'pictures to post' or something. You are really quite good at it.
Meeting up with you was a fluke.. but I as so glad that we have had this time to get to know one another because you are such a beautiful person. Seriously, so happy that i had this chance.
Yes exactly cherish .. very nice! You always find just the right pictures!! Happy Thursday :)

Beautiful, warm, touching, thoughtful and heartfelt.
Thank you for sharing this with us, for your creativity and thoughtfulness which went into this post.
