Today's word is: Effective
I can't say that effective has ever been on my personal list of overused words, but when I originally began collecting words it's one that came up so, not wanting to leave someone elses pet word out, I thought I'd best include it.

THANKFUL THURSDAY
I've been delinquent with these posts due to the A to Z Challenge. At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.
Every Thursday, from now until I don't know when, I'm going to express my thankfulness, for at least ONE something.
I've chosen a picture of the Deep Field to remind us all of how precious and rare this tiny ball of dirt, that we call Earth, is.
This is it. It's all we've got Let us be kind to Earth and each other. Let us be THANKFUL for what we have.
Today I'm thankful for coral reefs.
Today I'm thankful for Coral Reefs.
They are vital to the health of the planet.

And yet they are dying.

Their beauty cannot save them.
Only we can. And while we make plans to go to the moon and to Mars, less than 10% of the oceans have been explored. We know so little about our home, why do we need to go to places where we cannot live? Earlier this month, off the coast of Puerto Rico (the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean) scientist captured images of new creatures that have yet to be named.
Check it out.

That's really cool so many experts can be involved in that deep sea exploration. Smart to put a chat room to good use.
ReplyDeleteI love the pics of the reefs. There are a lot of them where I live on the Red Sea. So many beautiful varieties of fish. Definitely something to be grateful for. :)
ReplyDeleteI came by today, hoping for a bit of warmth and Caribbean Sun. You never fail to disappoint. I woke up here, in the High Sierra to 4 inches of snow on May 15th, are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for my time in the Caribbean and the wonders (especially of the sea) that I was able to experience there. I feel a sadness when I think about the devastation of the coral reefs. They provide a beauty beyond comparison.
Ocean life is beautiful and mysterious.
ReplyDeleteGreat alternatives.
