PICK UP TRASH

We could have filled at least five more of these bags in such a short distance!

This morning my friend and I went for a walk along the beach and decided to pick up trash along the way.  I usually focus on the natural beauty surrounding me, so I don’t notice the trash that unnaturally lines the coast.  Today, with bag-in hand, I set out on a mission to clean up the beach and it didn’t take long to fill the bag.  I found a curler, old towel, broken hat, flip flops, cigarette butts, bottled water, broken beach toys and MANY old grocery bags. I was amazed at how much trash is sitting quietly, awaiting a swift breeze to pick it up and sweep it into the water.  It felt great to improve my surroundings while out and about.  What a simple way to make a difference.  Bringing a trash bag along with me will now become part of my normal routine.  Yes, the Virgo in me led me straight to the sink to wash up when I got back.  Mission accomplished!
