• If you woke up this morning with more health than illness… you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
• If you have never experienced battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation… you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
• If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75% of people in this world.
• If you have money in the bank, money in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace… you are among 8% of the world’s most wealthy people.
• If your parents are alive and still married… you are very rare, even in the United States.
• If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful… you are blessed because the majority can, but do not.
• If you prayed yesterday and today… you are blessed because you believe God does hear and answer prayer, even though you are in the minority by holding this belief.
• If you can read these words… you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Brief surf opportunity this morning, short period swell looked cold and jumbled but occasionally a nice one rolled through. I just went to work.<

The surf looked fun this morning, wind and tide got to it before I could get on it. Maybe tomorrow...
 
 
 
The surfers in the water at Blackies were packed tight as these shorebirds.

urban debris

Last week was warm clear water with sea turtles in the line-up, today required a wetsuit, saw a condom, styro-cups, and other debris floating in the water. I try to be grateful in all circumstances but couldn`t ignore the difference between this week and last.It was still a pretty day with decent waves.
