As the old woman walked along the beach at dawn, she noticed a young woman ahead of her picking up starfish and flinging them back into the sea. Finally, catching up to the youth, the woman asked her why she was doing this. The answer was that the stranded fish would die if left in the morning sun. "But the beach goes on for endless miles and there are millions of starfish," countered the other. "How can your effort make any difference?" The young woman looked at the starfish in her hand and then threw it safely into the waves. "It makes a difference to this one," she said.
Just, well, in case you've lost a bit of wonder and magic and hope recently. Don't. The littlest of things can have the biggest impact.

Also, thank you very much for letting me flake on you last night. I really needed some relaxation (and to read Wicked some more!), which means I should be my usual happy self on Sunday!

I am enjoying the book, thank you! I'm about halfway through (at the 'Emerald City' - part 3, I think it is?), and eager to read more. Maybe after dinner with the in-laws I'll tuck myself up and finish it! I can almost certainly finish by Sunday, in which case I'll bring it back to you along with the discs I promised! (I was only able to burn the 3 Fiona Apple albums so far, using up our last 3 CDs! As soon as we buy more I'll crank more goodies out for you!)
