There is a story about a man who observed a boy throwing starfish that had washed up with the tide back into the ocean. The man asked the boy what he was doing. The boy responded, "I am throwing the starfish back into the ocean so that they do not dry up and die." The man cried, "You cannot possibly throw all these starfish back into the ocean. There are thousands." The boy looked at the starfish in his hand as he threw it gently back into the water. "It mattered to that one."

I am uplifted daily by good and kind moments, received and given. This blog is the story of the starfish that I have had the pleasure to witness being thrown back into the ocean.

Price of Honesty - $40,000

I love this story about three roommates who went out of their way to be honest, and to return $40,000 to a forgetful 91-year-old-owner in upstate New York.

The roommates found the money in a used couch that they bought at a salvation store. They could have kept the money, but instead, they hunted down the owner and returned the money to her.
