a mitzvah for the oceans

No, I am not Jewish, but I am human and I believe in giving back to the sea.

That's why I participated in the Reverse Tashlich event sponsored by the Savannah Jewish Federation last Sunday.

Today, it occurred to me that I should commemorate that here, in my blog of good deeds, as well as on my beach.

The mitzvah we all performed that day was this: the removal of human trash from the dunes, the shore, and the water's edge.

Amazingly, there were over 120 of us that came and gathered more than 65 pounds of non-biodegradable bits of plastic, confetti, and other trash.

What an excellent way for entire families, including so many children, to show their appreciation of the life-giving force of our oceans! 

Good for us... even better for the Atlantic Ocean and all the other waters that it touches.

I am so glad I was there.

food for all, please

Again, I am standing with the AARP Foundation to help end senior hunger.

 

All people, regardless of age, should have access to food.

 

In this first-world nation, it is appalling how many must still choose between sustenance for their bodies or medicines for their health.

 

I will continue to donate 4000 Reward Points toward this program every time I see this icon on the AARP website.

 

I am so blessed to qualify for Senior SNAP so I at least don't have to worry about my next meal, or the one after that.

 

i thank You, God.
